Sobre IBD

The leading critic of supernatural literature here examines the roots of the 'weird tale' (as Lovecraft called it) through detailed examinations of five 'founding fathers' of the genre: Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood, M.R. James, and H.P. Lovecraft. The result is a thorough study of the art, craft, philosophy, and aesthetics of an enduring genre of fantastic literature. 3
