Description

Distilling Horror from Modern Science In recent decades, the later works of H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) are particularly noteworthy for their incorporation of scientific and philosophical ideas into horrific tales. In the tradition of writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and H. G. Wells, Lovecraft came to find that connections with science lent realism to his imaginative tales, drawing readers in and then jolting them with his conclusions. Lovecraft lived in a time of startling transition in the world of science. His personal outlook was profoundly affected by the introduction of elements such as probability and relative perspectives in physics. Uniquely for his time, he saw that chaotic undercurrents in relativity, quantum physics, non-Euclidean geometry and related subjects would offer new avenues for terrifying readers while exploring questions of perception and identity. He was one of the first to introduce the concept of hyperspace to literature (Leiber).
