作为恐怖故事传统的继承者，H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) 从其极其个人化的主题与痴迷中汲取灵感革新了该流派，将超自然世界、神秘学知识与梦境幻象融为一体。作为幻想神话的创造者以及多产的短篇小说作家，他还出版了三部中长篇小说，其中尤以 El caso de Charles Dexter Ward 最为突出，在这部作品中，恐怖元素以最纯正的洛夫克拉夫特风格与写实性质的叙事素材交融在一起。

令人惊讶的是，在他大部分的故事里，来自外界的混乱其实都被遏制住了。最典型的就是《Call of Cthulhu》、《The Dunwich Horror》以及《The Case of Charles Dexter Ward》，威胁一旦显现，人们便会迅速采取行动。《Ghostbusters》（捉鬼敢死队）和洛夫克拉夫特作品的区别（除了前者是喜剧之外）在于反应。在《Ghostbusters》里，他们被呈现为…
Surprisingly enough, in most of his stories, the chaos from outside is contained. Notably in the Call of Cthlhu, The Dunwich Horror, and the Case of Charles Dexter Ward, where people spring into action once the threat has emerged. The difference between Ghostbusters and Lovecraft's work (outside of being a comedy) is the reaction. In Ghostbusters, they're presented as…
…传统历史和文化以前从未被我们今天所见到的——周期越来越短、速度越来越快的——技术经济反馈回路所塑造过。控制论（Cybernetics）就像《The Case of Charles Dexter Ward》里的尤格-索托斯（Yog Sothoth）一样被召唤了出来。[1] http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/MST.html [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_of_Charles_Dexter_War...
…Conventional history and culture has never before been shaped by the - ever shortening, ever accelerating - techonomic feedback loops that we see today.
