I'm very interested in differents kinds of literature, so this
time I tried reading some book or story of H.P Lovecraft. The first
thought I had was “Wow, this dude really have an amazing
imagination”, but there's something more about his stories. Since
he is an horror writer, he's not into stories that has a lot of
fantasy, he always tries to make them the most realistic possible.
There's a story called “The Dunwich Horror”* that is about
magicism and witchery, i tells the story of the son of Yog-Sothoth
(one of the Lovecraft´s famous entities). He is raised with his mom
and grandfather when suddenly they dissapear and Wilbur begins to do
some stranges thing in this house, in order to follow the orders of
his “father. It could be the more fantastic story but the way he
narrated this whole story makes it very probable (and I'm not the
kind of person who believes in that kinds of stuff). Anyway, I'm
impressed with this author, he had an amazing way to narrate all his
inner universe and imagination in his books.

wow! I never read that story before, and now I'm just terrified! Something that I really like about Lovecraft is that his imaginary is so powerfull that horror and sci-fi movies uses his influence in order to create plot lines and characters, I mean you can read his stories from years and years ago and still freak out!
