Beschreibung

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 (whose Lovecraft at Last is one of the most poignant books ever written about the Providence writer), and others.

As in all previous volumes in the Collected Letters series, these letters have been meticulously edited by David E. Schultz and S. T. Joshi, two of the leading authorities on Lovecraft. Also included are many rare and pertinent writings by the various correspondents, which shed light on their relationship to Lovecraft. An exhaustive bibliography and a comprehensive index conclude the volume.

Über den Autor

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer whose stories of cosmic horror transformed twentieth-century supernatural fiction. Writing primarily for pulp magazines such as Weird Tales, Lovecraft created a mythic universe in which ancient and incomprehensible beings exist beyond human understanding. His works-including The Call of Cthulhu, The Dunwich Horror, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow over Innsmouth-have had a profound influence on modern horror, fantasy, and science fiction.
