The Skull of Roger Williams (Paperback)

Paperback. H. P. Lovecraft has become a cultural icon, and every aspect of his life and work has become of compelling interest to devotees around the world. Ken Faig Jr. has been a leading scholar on Lovecraft for more than fifty years. Now he has made use of that knowledge, as well as his sensitivity and creative imagination, to fashion a succession of tales and plays that highlight key elements of Lovecraft's life. Such incidents as Lovecraft's trip to ancestral areas in western Rhode Island as a boy, his relations with his aunts, Annie Gamwell and Lillian Clark, his involvement with amateur journalism, and others enliven this book. Weirdness enters in the title story, a tale of the curious adventures of the skull of Roger Williams-the seventeenth-century founder of Rhode Island-in the centuries after his death. Every story resonates with Faig's deep humanity and awareness of the complex network of human relationships that make us what we are. This item is printed on demand.
