Abstract

This article considers the contradictory relationship that Luis Borges had with the work of H. P. Lovecraft. For this reason, the literary features of the argentinian writer will be analyzed through his there are more things tale and it will be proved how he first-hand met the work of Lovecraft to the point that he made a simbiosis of the American writer mythology and his owns. These approaches will be developed on the lovecraftian horror category, which will be ironically treated by Borges.
