19911993 years. 2 groups of enthusiasts
played the main role in this meeting. They

sociopolitical literature from St.Petersburg
and Valeriya Bernatskaya is an interpreter
from Moscow. Nowadays the books of
Lovecraft are republished in Russia by 3
large publishing houses – “Azbuka”,

In our century it is very difficult to
find a writer whose life and
character were documented so
carefully, whose works were so
unestablished during the life and
would be so well known after his
death. His works are so unique
that they are alloted in a special
genre – so called Lovecraft’s horror.
There are a lot of reasons and to
explain them it is necessary not
only to explore the life, character
of Lovecraft but explore
different aspects of the literature
on the whole

Although Lovecraft's
readership was
limited during his lifetime, his reputation
has grown over the decades, and he is now
regarded as one of the most influential
horror writers of the 20th century. Stephen
King called Lovecraft "the twentieth
century's greatest practitioner of the
classic horror tale." . Much remains to be
done in the study of Lovecraft, but it is safe
to say that, thanks to the intrinsic merit of
his own work and to the diligence of his
associates and supporters, Lovecraft has
gained a small but unassailable niche in the
canon of American and world literature.
The strong point of Lovecraft is his
ability to create a special atmosphere of
madness, “cosmic horror” and nightmares
which human mind fail to understand
