About this audiobook
When the narrator accompanies a withered old Yankee back to his house, he is intrigued by the many old curiosities he finds around it – including precolonial furniture. One of these curiosities, an engraving, brings the old man on a terrifying reminisce about eating things that he was not allowed to have, and the narrator realizes that he could next on his plate. As blood drips from the ceiling onto the book, the narrator narrowly escapes when a bolt of lightning strikes the house, finally ending his streak of immortality.
H. P. Lovecraft
Ubicado en Providence y descendiente de una familia burguesa, H. P. Lovecraft dio muestras desde muy joven de un carácter retraído y elitista. Aunque vivió unos años en Nueva York, donde se relacionó con otros escritores, y a pesar de que también cultivó la poesía y el ensayo, es sin duda conocido por su narrativa fantástica y de terror, que supo renovar dotándola de elementos novedosos, ligados a la ciencia ficción (con alienígenas, otras dimensiones o viajes en el tiempo). Publicó tres novelas y sesenta relatos, casi todos en la revista de género Weird Tales [“Cuentos inquietantes”] fundada en 1923. Se le considera hoy uno de los grandes maestros del horror.
