Few authors’ names conjure up such an air of ghoulish terror as that of Edgar Allan Poe. Although best known for his classic gothic horror tales such as ‘The Pit and the Pendulum’, ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ or ‘The Premature Burial’, he also wrote mystery thrillers like ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’ or ‘The Mystery of Marie Roget’ and curious stories like ‘The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether’.

Massachusetts in 1809, the son of an actress and an actor.

Poe dropped out of University and enlisted in the army, eventually attending West Point and becoming an officer. He then managed to get himself court-martialed, leaving the army to pursue a writing career in 1831.

HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1890. A sickly child, he barely attended school but read a huge amount. His ambition as a young man was to become an astronomer, but he lacked the qualifications to go to university and ultimately turned to writing and editing. Although he was not famous as an author during his lifetime, his status as one of the great twentieth century horror writers grew after his death, from cancer, in 1937.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft is undoubtedly one of the most influential writers in the history of horror fiction, with bestselling author Stephen King acknowledging that ‘Lovecraft opened the way for me, as he had done for others before me’ and Arthur C Clarke proclaimed him ‘One of the twentieth century’s most original writers.’ Lovecraft claimed to base his stories on the strange and disturbing dreams from which he regularly suffered.
