Abstract
Howard Philips Lovecraft is now considered to be an iconic American writer of horror and science fiction; however, he did not believe that his fiction would leave such a monumental mark on literature as it did. Lovecraft did not write for money or commercial success, and his references to Greek and Roman mythology, use of Latin quotes, eighteenth-century New England world view, racism and paranoia make him a writer whose works hardly seem accessible, even for his time. But this is exactly what makes his works unique and interesting. What Lovecraft did in his writing was to search the depths of human imagination. His stories explore everything which is strange or unknown to us and everything incomprehensible. Therefore, the fear of the unknown that surrounds his stories is one of the major themes that make Lovecraft rightfully a master storyteller and great writer. This paper will examine what the unknown in Lovecraft’s stories is, how it appears and what it says about the human condition and our understanding of the universe we live in, and it will do so by analysing the following stories: “The Call of Cthulhu”, “The Dreams in the Witch House”, “The Outsider” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth”.
