    <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;The Call of Cthulhu&quot; is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance.
&lt;br /&gt;It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: &quot;The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>

    <biography>&lt;p&gt;Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 &#8211; June 11, 1936) was a classic American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote &quot;over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion&quot; and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of &quot;a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He is well known for having created &#8212; in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales &#8212; the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Between Conan and his other heroes Howard created the genre now known as sword-and-sorcery in the late 1920s and early 1930s, spawning a wide swath of imitators and giving him an influence in the fantasy field rivaled only by J.R.R. Tolkien and Tolkien's similarly inspired creation of the modern genre of High Fantasy. There is no evidence that Tolkien was influenced by the earlier author, however.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A full century after his birth, Howard remains a seminal figure, with his best work endlessly reprinted. He has been compared to other American masters of the weird, gloomy, and spectral, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Jack London.&lt;/p&gt;

    <biography>&lt;p&gt;Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He is notable for blending elements of science fiction and horror; and for popularizing &quot;cosmic horror&quot;: the notion that some concepts, entities or experiences are barely comprehensible to human minds, and those who delve into such risk their sanity. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror genre and is noted as creator of the &quot;Cthulhu Mythos,&quot; a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a &quot;pantheon&quot; of nonhuman creatures, as well as the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works typically had a tone of &quot;cosmic pessimism,&quot; regarding mankind as insignificant and powerless in the universe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, and his works, particularly early in his career, have been criticized as occasionally ponderous, and for their uneven quality. Nevertheless, Lovecraft&#8217;s reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.&lt;/p&gt;
