About this audiobook
In Arkham, a promising marriage curdles into a body-stealing nightmare. H. P. Lovecraft’s “The Thing on the Door-Step” fuses occult ritual, identity horror, and cosmic dread into a relentless descent toward doom. When shy prodigy Edward Derby weds the enigmatic Asenath Waite, whispers of Innsmouth blood and forbidden rites swell into a chilling struggle for the self—where the mind may be only a husk to be worn. Perfect for readers of weird fiction and dark fantasy, this tale probes possession, madness, and the price of power, culminating in a finale that lingers like a curse.
H. P. Lovecraft
H.P. Lovecraft nació en Providence en 1890. Descendiente de colonos británicos del siglo XVII, sobrellevó una infancia enfermiza marcada por una educación autodidacta. Fue un niño precoz. A los tres años ya sabía leer, a los siete comenzó a escribir. Su vida puede entenderse como la consagración de esos dos hábitos. Después de Poe, fue el gran innovador del relato de terror. La llamadade Cthulhu (1926), El horror de Dunwich (1928), En las montañas de la locura (1931) y La sombra sobre Innsmouth (1931) están consideradas como sus obras capitales. En ellas se cifra el mayor de sus legados al género: el horror cósmico. De sus muchas lecturas, las de Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany y Algernon Blackwood estuvieron entre sus preferidas. Ignorado por sus contemporáneos, resignado a su destino solitario, Lovecraft murió a los cuarenta y siete años dejando un vasto número de ficciones, poesías, cartas y ensayos. En 1939 sus amigos emprendieron la edición sistemática de sus trabajos. Hoy son universales y clásicos, como los de Melville o Hawthorne.
