The Strange High House in the Mist (Zagadochny Dom na Tumannom Utyose)

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, who never published a single book in his lifetime, became a beacon and benchmark for the horror genre, an idol for both the general reader and refined intellectuals. His influence was recognized by such masters as Borges and such idols as Stephen King. His stories were repeatedly adapted for the screen, and the writer himself became a household name.
