Abstract
The first chapter of this creative thesis is a broad overview of the three core concepts described by H. P. Lovecraft in his 1927 essay on horror, “Supernatural Horror in Literature.” This chapter pays particular attention to how these core concepts emerge in horror fiction, the techniques Lovecraft uses in his stories to demonstrate them, and the scholarship that now exists around the subgenre of cosmic horror. The next three chapters are the creative thesis itself, a cosmic horror novella titled Secondary Growth. Lastly, the fifth and final chapter is both a close reading of Secondary Growth using the core concepts and techniques outlined in the first chapter and a reflection on how these concepts affected the development of the novella.
