howard phillips lovecraft was an american writer of weird, science, fantasy, and horror fiction. lovecraft is best known for his creation of a body of work that became known as the cthulhu mythos.
lovecraft's literary corpus is based around the idea of cosmicism, which was simultaneously his personal philosophy and the main theme of his fiction. according to this philosophy, humanity was an unimportant part of an uncaring cosmos that could be swept away at any moment. to support this point, his stories included fantastic and science fiction elements that represented the perceived fragility of anthropocentrism. having an interest in scientific discoveries, he incorporated then-current scientific discoveries into his stories. these stories generally take place in a fictionalized version of new england. civilizational decline also plays a major role in his works, as he believed that the west was in decline during his lifetime. while lovecraft came to this conclusion independently, he was influenced by oswald spengler's articulation of it. more generally, these stories and elements were influenced by his readings of edgar allan poe and lord dunsany's fictional works and writings.
throughout his adult life, lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as an author and editor. he was virtually unknown during his lifetime and was almost exclusively published in pulp magazines before his death, but is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors of supernatural horror fiction. this is the result of a literary and scholarly revival that began in the 1970s and 1980s. this resulted in an increased number of critical and scholarly discussions of lovecraft's life and works. simultaneously, a wide body of adaptations and works that are based on or influenced by his writings emerged. these works form the basis of the cthulhu mythos, which draws on lovecraft's characters, setting, and themes.
theodor seuss geisel was an american children's author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, and filmmaker. he is known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books under the pen name dr. seuss. his work includes many of the most popular children's books in the english-speaking world, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death.

after the war, geisel returned to writing children's books, writing classics like if i ran the zoo (1950), horton hears a who! (1955), the cat in the hat (1957), how the grinch stole christmas!
