A proponent of the notion of cosmic horror, according to which human beings are insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, the American writer H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was almost unknown during his lifetime, but he has since become a cult author. American illustrator Mike Mignola (creator of the character Hellboy) talks about his discovery of Lovecraft and the challenge his creatures represent for an illustrator.

H. P. Lovecraft truly became a cult author with his fantasy novel The Call of Cthulhu (1926), in which an infamous creature is said to lurk at the bottom of the ocean while his followers secretly prepare his return to earth.
