Hugh B. Cave Knihy
Hugh Barnett Cave bol mimoriadne plodný autor, ktorého dielo zasiahlo širokú škálu žánrov, od napínavých pulpových fikcií po horor a kriminálne príbehy. Svoje prvé poviedky začal publikovať už v ranom veku, často pod rôznymi pseudonymami, aby uspokojil dopyt takmer stovky periodík. Jeho raná tvorba zahŕňala dobrodružné príbehy s morálne nejednoznačnými hrdinami a tiež znepokojivé hororové poviedky. Neskôr čerpal zo svojich skúseností ako vojnový spravodajca a z pobytu na Haiti, kde sa ponoril do štúdia voodoo, čo sa odrazilo v jeho oceňovaných románoch a non-fiction dielach. Cave bol priekopníkom aj v oblasti e-kníh a jeho rozsiahle dielo, zahŕňajúce vyše tisíc poviedok a desiatky románov, je dnes pripomínané pre svoju štylistickú rozmanitosť a neúnavnú imagináciu.
