Resumo: This article aims to analyze the relationship between horror and religion in the work of H. P. Lovecraft and its articulations through other media and in the field of cyberculture. The author, who has not enjoyed much prestige in the past, has increasingly penetrated the current scene in the fields considered erudite as much as the massive or popular scopes. Thus, in investigating the reasons for this surprising rebirth of Lovecraft in the sphere of so-called high culture (literature, arts, philosophy), we are at the same time seeking the motivations of his interest in popular and media culture and studying the forms and appropriations which his themes, ideas or even works were absorbed by the contemporary media.

P. Lovecraft e suas articulações por meio de outras mídias e no campo da cibercultura. O autor, que não gozava de muito prestígio no passado, tem penetrado cada vez mais no atual cenário tanto em âmbitos considerados eruditos quanto em âmbitos considerados massivos ou populares. Desse modo, ao investigar as razões desse surpreendente renascimento de Lovecraft na esfera da chamada alta cultura (literatura, artes, filosofia), buscaremos ao mesmo tempo as motivações de seu interesse no âmbito da cultura popular e midiática e estudando as formas e apropriações como seus temas, ideias ou mesmo obras foram absorvidos pelos meios de comunicação contemporâneos. PEPG COS-PUC-SP2018-11-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/galaxia/article/view/35811Galaxia; No. 39 (2018)GALÁxIA.
