The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a novel by HP Lovecraft , and we found it as one of the key works of the author.
The story tells the life of Charles Dexter Ward, a man born in Providence, Lovecraft's hometown, which radically changed after a secret research carried out.
This sudden change in the lives of young Ward is due to the discovery of an ancestor, Joseph Curwen, a dark science researcher. Charles Ward began his research at the point where it left the young Curwen everything.
Joseph Curwen was a strange man who seemed no older. His whole life revolved around a mysterious house where strangers came out packages and where screams and sounds often inhumane.
An interesting novel with a surprising ending. Actually, it is only on the last page we find the answer to all the mysteries that take place throughout the entire book. Although we can glimpse where it leads, the end turns out to be quite the opposite.
Lovecraft was a strange man, who based his life on writing and invention a whole new genre of terror. The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a book that belongs to the so-called Cthulhu Mythos
