They portray Lovecraft's childhood, dominated by an overprotective mother; his early ventures into amateur journalism; his marriage to Sonia Greene and his move to New York; his ecstatic return to his native Providence, R.I., where he wrote the great stories for which he is now remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGafford and Eckhardt present memorable images of the great literary creations-the extraterrestrial monster Cthulhu, the forbidden \u003cem\u003eNecronomicon, \u003c\/em\u003e the shoggoths that haunt Antarctica-that have made him a worldwide celebrity.
