Heart of Darkness has been considered for most of this century as a literary classic, and also as a powerful indictment of the evils of imperialism. It reflects the savage repressions carried out in the Congo by the Belgians in one of the largest acts of genocide committed up to that time. Conrad's narrator encounters at the end of the story a man named Kurtz, dying, insane, and guilty of unspeakable atrocities.

Uno de los títulos más representativos de la vasta producción del denominado Maestro del terror cósmico, el estadounidense Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937). Nadie como él ha mezclado los relatos de terror y ciencia ficción. Su obra con base materialista se aparta de la temática tradicional, incorporando elementos de ciencia ficción. Con La llamada de Cthulhu, Lovecraft nos muestra las primeras visiones de ese terror cósmico que tantas veces exploraría a lo largo de su obra.
