Azathoth and Other Horrors: The Collected Nightmare Lyrics by Edward Pickman Derby [Paperback] Blackmore, Leigh

“ The discovery of the fabulously rare Azathoth and Other Horrors by Edward Pickman Derby is a monumental achievement. Veteran editor Leigh Blackmore has added a number of poems to the original edition of 1931. Derby’ s poetry as a whole shows him to be a truly haunted individual— haunted by terrors in life, literature, and the boundless cosmos. There may be some danger in reading this book: beware the blasting of your soul by Derby’ s array of versified venom!” – S. T. Joshi (A Poetry Collection by Leigh Blackmore)
