About this title

From the Publisher:

In Volume One of RETURN TO DERLETH: SELECTED ESSAYS, several aspects of Derleth's lifework was covered--yet all this only represented a small portion of the work that August Derleth wrote during his lifetime. In Vol. II can be found the other major venues that appeared under a Derleth byline. Here are the Solar Pons mysteries as recalled by the definitive Pontine scholar, Basil Copper. Here lie exposed the "real" life stories of the residents of Sac Prairie. Here, complete for the first time, the landmark essay by T.V. Olsen on Derleth's historical novels, from STILL IS THE SUMMER NIGHT to THE WIND LEANS WEST. Other essays explore Derleth's teenage romance with "Margery"; his science fiction stories, a "return" to Derleth's influence in the supernatural told by the late Frank Belknap Long and, finally, a touching portrait of Frank Utpatel, the artist from Mazomanie whose woodcuts graced many of Derleth's books. Some of the woodcuts are reproduced as well as more illustrations by Eugene Gryniewicz.
