"The Moon-Bog" is a story account by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) — known as H.P. Lovecraft — was an American author who achieved posthumous popularity through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown in support of posted in pulp mags before he passed away in poverty, he's now thought to be one of many 20th-century writers in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he put in almost all of his life. His daddy was confined to a mental institution when Lovecraft was three years old. His grandfather, a prosperous businessman, appreciated storytelling and was an early on impact. Intellectually precocious but very sensitive, Lovecraft commenced composing rudimentary horror stories by the age of eight, but suffered with overwhelming feelings of anxiousness. He encountered issues with classmates in institution, and was retained at home by his highly strung and overbearing mother for conditions that may have been psychosomatic. In high school, Lovecraft could better connect with his peers and form friendships. He also involved community children in sophisticated make-believe assignments, only regretfully ceasing the activity at seventeen years of age. Despite leaving institution in 1908 without graduating — he found mathematics specifically difficult — Lovecraft had developed a formidable understanding of his favored subject matter, such as history, linguistics, chemistry, and astronomy. Although he appears to have had some social life, attending meetings of a membership for local young men, Lovecraft, in early adulthood, was established in a reclusive 'nightbird' lifestyle without profession or pursuit of romantic adventures. In 1913 his carry out of an extended working controversy in the letters page of a story magazine led to his being invited to take part in an amateur journalism association. Encouraged, he began circulating his experiences; he was 31 during his first publication in a specialist magazine. Lovecraft contracted a marriage to an older woman he had met at a link conference.

Lovecraft came back to Providence from NY in 1926, and over another nine months he produced a few of his most famous stories including "THE DECISION of Cthulhu", canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. Never in a position to support himself from income as author and editor, Lovecraft found commercial success ever more elude him in this last mentioned period, partially because he lacked the assurance and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively straitened circumstances in his previous years; an inheritance was completely put in by the time he passed away at the age of 46.
