"The Outsider" is a short story by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between March and August 1921, it was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926. In this work, a mysterious man who has been living alone in a castle for as long as he can remember decides to break free in search of human contact and light. "The Outsider" is one of Lovecraft's most commonly reprinted works and is also one of the most popular stories ever to be published in Weird Tales.

The story takes place in Providence, Rhode Island and revolves around the Church of Starry Wisdom. The cult uses an ancient artifact known as the Shining Trapezohedron to summon a terrible being from the depths of time and space. The Shining Trapezohedron was discovered in Egyptian ruins, in a box of alien construction, by Professor Enoch Bowen before he returned to Providence, Rhode Island in 1844. Members of the Church of Starry Wisdom in Providence would awaken the Haunter of the Dark, an avatar of Nyarlathotep, by gazing into the glowing crystal. Summoned from the black gulfs of chaos, this being could show other worlds, other galaxies, and the secrets of arcane and paradoxical knowledge; but he demanded monstrous sacrifices, hinted at by disfigured skeletons that were later found in the church. The Haunter of the Dark was banished by light and could not cross a lighted area.
I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more. Penniless, and at the end of my supply of the drug which alone makes life endurable, I can bear the torture no longer; and shall cast myself from this garret window into the squalid street below. Do not think from my slavery to morphine that I am a weakling or a degenerate. When you have read these hastily

Howard Phillips Lovecraft - known as H.P.Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 - March 15, 1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his in uential works of horror ction. He was virtually unknown and published only in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but he is now regarded as one of the most signi cant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island where he spent most of his life. Lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor. He saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the con dence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively straitened circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time that he died at age 46.According to Joyce Carol Oates, Lovecraft - as with Edgar Allan Poe in the 19th century - has exerted "an incalculable influence on succeeding generations of writers of horror fiction". Horror, fantasy, and science fiction author Stephen King called Lovecraft "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." King has made it clear in his semi- autobiographical non-fiction book Danse Macabre that Lovecraft was responsible for King's own fascination with horror and the macabre, and was the single largest figure to influence his fiction writing.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.

"Lovecraft es uno de los narradores m s influyentes y le dos de la literatura norteamericana. Sus cuentos exploran el terror y la ciencia ficci n como g nero, marcando un precedente literario. Aqu hay una selecci n de los nueve mejores cuentos de distintas pocas de su escritura: El color que cay del cielo, La llamada del Cthulhu, Azathoth, Drag n, El ser bajo la luz de la luna, Las ratas de las paredes, El cl rigo malvado, La m sica de Erich Zann, La ciudad sin nombre est n marcados por sus atm sferas macabras y por esa oscuridad tan protag nica en los mundos que inventa Lovecraft. No en vano el escritor Michel Houellebecq dice de l: "Yo descubr a H.P.L. a los diecis is a os (...) No sab a que la literatura pod a hacer eso. Y, adem s, todav a no estoy seguro de que pueda. Hay algo en Lovecraft que no es del todo literario"
