Ensayos

Aunque Lovecraft se haya hecho famoso (póstumamente) por sus relatos ominosos, escribió muchísimas obras de no-ficción, en donde expone su vasto conocimiento y agudas opiniones acerca de los temas que le interesaban o preocupaban. El más famoso de sus ensayos es «The Supernatural Horror in Literature», un análisis exhaustivo de la historia del género desde los orígenes hasta sus días.
