My favourite book and film

I'm not a current reader, but i enjoy read, the most awesome books for me was the short stories and the monster's world of Howard Phillip Lovecraft. Lovecraft literally created a full world and mythology of monsters and horror, the stories are in a insane level of creativity, the form of expression in him stories makes you very tense and curious, the story traps you and you can't stop reading.

In general, the characters are very interesting in many cases, sometimes you don't understand the protagonist character 'cause Lovecraft likes to blow your mind and the write invite you to imagine and work your own version of the story. Just a genious of the horror genre.

My favourite short story of the world of Lovecraft definetly is the "Pickman's Model". Pickman was a painter and his paintings was really scary, morbid paintings with a lot of weird creatures that Pickman "saw's in his trastornated mind". In this story, the storyteller is Thurber, a close friend of the artist. Thurber had a puzzle to resolve, his friend has desapeared. What a surprise of Thurber when he entries to the gallery of Pickman, 'cause the paintings are not the imagination of Pickman, the creatures and the indiscreptible horror and realism of the paintings was real, Pickman had contact with this creatures in his gallery and ... Thurber doesn't really care to resolve the puzzle. That's the reason to the phobia of Thurber to stay in tunels or galleries.

"Only the real artists knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear"
(Thurber)

Talking of films, it's hard to choose the favourite, but if i need to choose, my choice will be "The Imitation Game". The argument is about the scientist Alan Turing, a british cryptanalyst who has called of the british goverment to decrypte the german itelligence messages during the Second World War, he was gay, and the story of this man it's full of emotive moments, his life was hard fro his sexual orientation, in that century the homosexuality was pushined with dead or chemical castration, the second was the reason of Turing's dead. 

The film is based in the real life of the scientist, the actors are just brilliant, the stage of the movie add more sentimentalism, 'cause a lot of scientist had family in the army, fighting against Hitler's Army. Turing's life in summary was a chain of frustration, 'cause his homosexuality and also the challenge of decrypte the Enigma Machine, whose purpose was encrypte the german messages to around the german army, instructions, objectives, etc. 

Always the WW2 is a interesting and also current argument fro many movies, but this movie in particular likes me 'cause the protagonist is a scientist, who helped to the fall of Hitler's Empire, the guy's life is really sad, frustrating in every second of the movie. Really recommended.
