Titan of Terror: the Dark Imagination of H.P. Lovecraft

What is it about the stories of H.P. Lovecraft that give you chills you never knew were possible? He takes you out of the real world, and sets you in a place where you cannot figure your way out, because it's not anything like the world we know. So a lot of that fear is the fear of the unknown, of being stripped of control. Learn about the man behind the horrific sense of dread you feel while reading an H.P. Lovecraft novel in a TED-Ed video from Silvia Moreno-García. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
