New York: Hippocampus Press, 2013. Trade paperback, New,. Barbara Briggs Silbert. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2013. Trade paperback, New, 306 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Barbara Briggs Silbert "For nearly three decades, Steven J. Mariconda has been one of the keenest analysts of H. P. Lovecraft's variegated literary work. In the 1980s, he wrote landmark articles on Lovecraft's prose style, demonstrating how the dreamer from Providence utilized an array of rhetorical techniques to generate maximum power and effectiveness in the writing of weird fiction. Mariconda also focused on Lovecraft's relations to Modernist writers such as T. S. Eliot and Hart Crane, proving that Lovecraft was a small but significant voice in the general literary tendencies of his time.<br /> Mariconda has also written penetrating articles on specific stories, including significant essays on the literary sources of 'The Call of Cthulhu' and 'The Haunter of the Dark.' And in the… Read More

San Francisco: Believer Books, 2005. First English edition, Trade paperback, Fine,. Sam Potts. San Francisco: Believer Books:, 2005. First English edition, Trade paperback, Fine, 243 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Sam Potts An as new copy. Includes a long introduction by Stephen King. King's blurb is, no doubt, better than any I can offer: "Michel Houellebecq's essay H.P. LOVECRAFT: AGAINST THE WORLD, AGAINST LIFE is a remarkable blending of critical insight, fierce partisanship, and sympathetic biography - a kind of scholarly love letter, maybe even the world's first truly cerebral mash note. The question is whether or not the subject rates such a rich and unexpected burst of creativity in what is ordinarily a dull-as-ditchwater, footnote-riddled field of work. Does this long-dead, pulp-magazine Johnson deserve such a Boswell? Houellebecq argues that H.P. Lovecraft does, that he matters a great deal even in the twenty-first century. As it happens, I think he could not be more… Read More

New York: Hippocampus Press, 2015. Trade paperback, New,. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2015. Trade paperback, New, 550 pp.<br/> "H. P. Lovecraft's generous tutelage of younger literary colleagues earned him their lifelong devotion and admiration. Few profited more by his assistance than Robert Bloch, who went on to become the celebrated author of Psycho and other classic works of horror and suspense. Establishing a correspondence with Lovecraft when he was sixteen, Bloch learned so much about the craft of writing-and about other matters-that he later stated: 'Lovecraft was my university.' This volume brings together Lovecraft's complete extant correspondence with Bloch as well as with such other young writers, editors, and fans of the 1930s as Kenneth Sterling (who collaborated with Lovecraft on 'In the Walls of Eryx'), Donald A. Wollheim (editor of the 'Phantagraph' and a leading figure in science fiction in the decades that followed), Willis Conover… Read More

New York: Hippocampus Press, 2016. Trade paperback, New,. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2016. Trade paperback, New, 433 pp.<br/> "This volume presents H. P. Lovecraft's letters to three individuals-J. Vernon Shea, Carl Ferdinand Strauch, and Lee McBride White-who were not exclusively interested in weird fiction nor were involved in the realms of amateur journalism or fantasy fandom. Although Shea did come into contact with Lovecraft through Weird Tales, his interests, even as a young man, were far wider-current politics, general literature, film, and socio-cultural trends. As such, Lovecraft's letters to him broach broad topics relating to aesthetics, philosophy, politics, and general culture. In one letter Lovecraft expounds on his fascination with the film Berkeley Square, a time-travel drama that markedly inspired one of his later stories, 'The Shadow out of Time.' Carl F. Strauch was a librarian and an academic-he wrote a dissertation on Ralph Waldo Emerson and taught… Read More

New York: Hippocampus Press, 2016. Trade paperback, New,. Anastasia Damianakos. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2016. Trade paperback, New, 441 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Anastasia Damianakos "Lovecraft's correspondents were scattered all over the country, and he found it engaging to be in touch with individuals from those areas of the United States where he had never been. Letters to two correspondents from the Pacific Northwest, Duane W. Rimel and F. Lee Baldwin, fill the bulk of this volume, and they reveal Lovecraft's customary role of tutor and mentor to young devotees of weird fiction in the 1930s. As a novice writer of weird fiction, Rimel came in touch with Lovecraft to seek assistance on improving his work and getting it published in pulp or fan magazines. In the course of their relationship, Lovecraft helped Rimel on as many as three stories-"The Sorcery of Alphar," "The Tree on the Hill," and "The Disinterment." He gave Rimel valuable advice… Read More

New York: Hippocampus Press, 2011. Trade paperback, New,. Barbara Siebert. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2011. Trade paperback, New, 493 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Barbara Siebert "James Ferdinand Morton was one of H. P. Lovecraft's most learned and accomplished correspondents: the recipient of a B.A. and M.A. from Harvard, Morton served as a leading figure in the Esperanto Association of North America, the Thomas Paine Natural History Association, and other organizations, and was a longtime curator of the Paterson (New Jersey) Museum. Lovecraft's correspondence with Morton reveals the full range of his and Morton's intellectual interests, ranging from freethought to socialism, from amateur journalism to crossword puzzles, from race relations to the rise of Mussolini and Hitler. Along the way, Lovecraft provides engaging accounts-many times written in piquant slang-of his travels across New England, his diet, and other details that bring the dreamer from Providence to… Read More

New York: Hippopcampus Press, 2018. Trade paperback, New,. New York: Hippopcampus Press:, 2018. Trade paperback, New, 628 pp.<br/> "This volume presents Lovecraft's correspondence with Maurice W. Moe, who knew Lovecraft for nearly the entirety of the latter's adult life, from 1914 to 1937. Moe, a high school teacher in Wisconsin, was a devoted amateur journalist and also a fervent and evangelical Christian, and both subjects elicited sharp discussions from Lovecraft. The Providence writer's years-long assistance on Moe's book about the appreciation of poetry, Doorways to Poetry, may have helped inspire his later weird verse, including the Fungi from Yuggoth sonnets.The volume also contains Lovecraft's extensive correspondence with Bernard Austin Dwyer, a weird fiction fan who engaged in wide-ranging discussions with Lovecraft on such subjects as cosmicism, Lovecraft's upbringing, and political developments in the 1920s and 1930s. In addition, the relatively few… Read More

New York: Hippocampus Press, 2023. Trade paperback, New,. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2023. Trade paperback, New, 595 pp.<br/> "H. P. Lovecraft's literary career ended very much the way it began-with amateur journalism. In 1914, he had entered the United Amateur Press Association and gained lifelong friends and a renewed will to live and write. In 1930, Lovecraft's attendance of the annual convention of the National Amateur Press Association led to a renewed interest in the multifarious issues agitating amateurdom at that time. Encouraged by a new colleague, Helm C. Spink, Lovecraft took on the role of poetry critic for the NAPA's Bureau of Critics. Hyman Bradofsky, whose Californian allowed an unprecedented amount of space for lengthy contributions, persuaded Lovecraft to write numerous articles and to steer other amateurs in Bradofsky's direction. Lovecraft then became embroiled in heated controversies and feuds, many of them revolving around the argumentative Ralph W.… Read More
