Hugh B. Cave

    Hugh Barnett Cave fut un maître prolifique de la fiction pulp dont le talent narratif s'étendit à travers de nombreux genres, des aventures palpitantes aux récits troublants d'horreur et de crime. Il commença à publier des histoires dès son plus jeune âge, souvent sous pseudonymes, contribuant à un vaste éventail de périodiques avec ses récits imaginatifs. Le travail précoce de Cave explora des histoires de protagonistes moralement ambigus et plongea dans les royaumes inquiétants des "pulp du frisson". Plus tard, s'appuyant sur ses expériences de correspondant de guerre et sur son séjour en Haïti, il produisit des romans acclamés et des œuvres de non-fiction explorant des thèmes de conflit et de Vaudou. Pionnier dans l'adoption des livres électroniques, le vaste héritage de Cave, qui comprend plus de mille nouvelles et des dizaines de romans, est célébré pour son ampleur stylistique et sa créativité incessante.
