    Black Wings VI

    I am pleas'd to announce that I have a new Sesqua Valley story in ye just-publish'd (in England) Black Wings VI, edited by S. T. Joshi and available from PS Publishing. This may be the last volume in this series from S. T., for a wee while at least, as he feels a desire to work on different...

    Forthcoming Lovecraftian Items

They will soon be releasing ye final volumes of Lovecraft's work in illustrated volumes, with art by Pete Von Sholly. I'm quite fond...

    Dates for the Events of The Thing on the Doorstep

    found Peter's book of dates: 1932 (?) August--Upton takes a whole day of feverish jolting through fantastic and forbidding scenery to get to Chesuncook in a car. He finds Derby in a cell at the town farm, vacillating between frenzy and apathy. 1932 (?) mid-October--One evening Upton hears the...

    Dates for the Events of The Thing on the Doorstep

    This got me looking for my copy of Peter Cannon's THE CHRONOLOGY OUT OF TIME: DATES IN THE FICTION OF H. P. LOVECRAFT--and my copy seems to have been misplac'd, as it isn't in my box of Necronomicon Press chapbooks. Copies are selling on Amazon for sky-high prices, so it isn't something I'll be...

    The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft

    We have a wonderful edition, Lord of a Visible World: An Autobiography in Letters, publish'd by Ohio University Press in 2000. It is a fascinating edition of 400 pages, and was publish'd in hardcover and pb editions. The cover illustration is one of my favourites because it makes HPL look really...

    Best of the Letters of...Books?

    The two volumes of letters with Derleth are almoft entirely concern'd with ye writer's craft. Augie is sometimes rather severely critical concerning tales such as "The Dreams in the Witch House" and some few others, and may have help'd to heighten Lovecraft's displeasure with his own fiction.

    BLACK SEAS OF INFINITY

    It is an excellent collection, contains classics and rarities alike. I know nothing of the editor, who seems to be well-known in fan circles. I just try'd to find my copy so as to reread Miller's Introduction; but I cannot now locate it in ye chaos of my rooms. I like that it has some of ye...

    Forthcoming Lovecraftian Items

    I had dinner with S. T. last night, and he gave me my cont. copy of Black Wings V. It's a fantastic volume, with stories by Caitlin R. Kiernan, Cody Goodfellow, David Hambling, Donald Tyson, Sunni K. Brook, Sam Gafford, Darrell Schweitzer, and many others. It ends with a marvelous long poem by...

    Harley Warren, WWI & Carter's Age

    There is so much ambiguity in Lovecraft. But we do have a solid recording of dates: THE CHRONOLOGY OUT OF TIME: DATES IN THE FICTION OF H. P. LOVECRAFT, by Peter Cannon (Necronomicon Press, 1986). This really needs to be reprinted. Here are ye entries for 1912: A deeply learned Sussex clergyman...

    The Variorum Lovecraft

    Derrick has just posted, in a Facebook thread on ye Variorum set, that there will be a Kindle edition forthcoming, featuring auto-updates in case any new textual variants emerge. Such new discoveries have been made by Martin Andersson and will be featured in these new softcover volumes.

    The Variorum Lovecraft

    I just saw that Amazon is offering trade paperback editions of each volume, sold separately for $25@, volumes to be published in August. I assume that Hippocampus will sell them only as a set of the three volumes.

    Reading E'ch-Pi-El

    Just wrote a wee review of this new hardcover Barnes & Noble edition, THE COMPLETE CTHULHU MYTHOS TALES, & the book's effect on my mental state--e.i., a renew'd enthusiasm for ye reading of Lovecraft's fiction--made me curious about y'all & your relationship with HPL's Work. You can tell I hold...

    Nyarlathotep vs The Black Man

    It is impossible to say, and this is typical of Lovecraft, who sometimes creates an unexplanable and inexplicable aspect of antique myth which may or may not be rooted in reality. The same thing occurs with the myth of Shub-Niggurath and ye Goat with a Thousand Young: does this refer to one...

    Ye Fungi from Yuggoth

    Is anyone else really into the poem, or am I alone in my devotion? I suppose that most of y'all don't consider Lovecraft much of a poet--and certainly he pales in comparison to Donald Wandrei and Clark Ashton Smith--but when he was good I find him very good indeed. Here, here, now, you're not...

    Forthcoming Lovecraftian Items

    It may be sooner, as they are indeed supposed to be working on it now--but these books always seem to get delayed, so I am suspecting a September/October release rather than June/July. I'm really looking forward to it--the few tales I've looked over in ye pdf are fantastic!

    Forthcoming Lovecraftian Items

    Ye artist's name is, of course, COULTHART, please pardon my repeated misspelling... S. T. just sent ye pdf file for BLACK WINGS V--and it is a fabulous volume! I was a bit disappointed in my own story upon re-reading it, but I continue to be overjoy'd to have new work in this series. I suspect...

    Forthcoming Lovecraftian Items

    A hardcover edition of THE COMPLETE CTHULHU MYTHOS STORIES will be poublish'd at month's end by Barnes & Noble. The photos I have seen of it are impressive, and John Coulhart (who is the book's artist) has supplied some captivating hints about what will be contain'd therein. "...among the extra...
