Abstract
The Necronomicon is a collection of short stories by Howard P. Lovecraft, a renowned author of the horror genre and pulp fiction. Being such a prolific author of the horror genre, this paper will show that Lovecraft’s works are interspersed with various elements that give his writing an uncanny touch: specific architecture, representation of the Other, temporal displacement, imitation, and anxiety. After introducing the concept of the uncanny, the paper reviews horror as a genre and showcases how it was influenced by the contemporary society. After that, the paper analyses the elements that make up this uncanny phenomenon by relating them to human kind’s fears best shown in three of Lovecraft’s selected stories, each of which showcases an element of the uncanny most fit for the plot. The depth of his works allows for the analysis to relate back to the psychology of the human mind, that is to the innate fear that people have of otherness and that which is unknown.
