# H. P. Lovecraft

### From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction.

He wrote many really scary short stories. These often were about weird creatures that Lovecraft made up by himself or took from existing mythology. The creatures did not really care about human people at all, so they weren't out to hurt people, but if they did, they didn't care. They looked at us like we would be ants. Their behaviour, attitude and look also tended to make people go crazy.

Lovecraft's stories were inspiration for lots of other authors and writers.
