New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2024. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 426 pp. Cover artwork by: Jason Van Hollander "The joint correspondence of four titans of the Lovecraft Circle sheds fascinating light on the complex interplay of the personal and professional lives of these writers, artists, editors, and collectors. R. H. Barlow initiated much of the correspondence, seeking to preserve manuscripts and other material in what he called the 'Vaults of Yoh-Vombis.' Barlow discussed plans to publish a variety of Smith's poetry, but these ultimately came to nothing. Similarly, he wished to issue a volume of Howard Wandrei's weird artwork, but Howard's brother put an end to the idea. H. P. Lovecraft is a focal point of discussion in all the correspondence. Donald Wandrei developed an enmity to Barlow, in part because Wandrei falsely believed that Barlow had stolen Lovecraft's books and manuscripts, even though he had been declared Lovecraft's literary executor. When Wandrei was helping August Derleth found Arkham House, he urged Derleth, Smith, and others to shun Barlow, with the result that Barlow was essentially driven out of the field. This volume presents an invaluable glimpse into the world of weird and pulp fiction in the 1930s and 1940s, as each writer displays the distinctive traits that have made him a renowned figure in the genre."

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A Much Misunderstood Man: Selected Letters of Ambrose Bierce, edited by S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz, published by The Ohio State University Press, Columbus, 2003. First Edition, First Printing. A substantial collection of 209 letters by Ambrose Bierce, bringing together correspondence that reveals a more complex and personal figure behind the famously sardonic author of The Devil's Dictionary and such supernatural tales as "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Drawn from manuscript sources and extensively annotated, the letters illuminate Bierce as a father, journalist, literary mentor, critic, and relentless opponent of hypocrisy and injustice. Of particular interest is the volume's conclusion with Bierce's final known letter, written from Chihuahua, Mexico, on December 26, 1913, shortly before his legendary disappearance during the Mexican Revolution. Edited by noted weird-fiction scholar S. T. Joshi and Bierce scholar David E. Schultz. Hardcover with pictorial boards, issued without dust jacket. First printing with complete number line.

Condition: Trade paperback, New. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2021. Trade paperback, New, 392 pp. Cover artwork by: Jason Van Hollander "The correspondence begins in 1913, when Smith was still under the poetic tutelage of George Sterling. Sterling was also attempting to help Loveman secure a wider audience for his poetry. The two authors' discussions of the aesthetics of poetry-both their own and the work of such poets as John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Clare, and many others-are compelling. Loveman, having become involved in the book trade, would often pass along rare and tempting volumes to Smith, whose ability to secure books was limited. As such, fascinating discussions arise on the unusual and esoteric books they each absorbed. Smith also recounts the poor health that dogged him in the 1910s, while Loveman was drafted into the U.S. army toward the end of World War I and underwent hardship at a military camp in Georgia. The correspondence of these two pioneering poets-extending sporadically all the way down to 1941-is a testament to each writer's devotion to pure literature as a solace and balm against the vicissitudes of life. It is a lesson we can all appreciate today." This is a print-on-demand edition. Jason Van Hollander (illustrator).…

New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2020. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 544 pp. "Rheinhart Kleiner was one of H. P. Lovecraft's oldest colleagues, having come into epistolary contact with him in 1915. These two amateur journalists were both devoted to poetry, and their extensive discussions of verse writing provide glimpses into Lovecraft's extensive poetry writing during his early years in the amateur journalism movement. Lovecraft also wrote a long autobiographical letter to Kleiner in 1916, supplying little-known details about his ancestry, early life, and writings. Other correspondents in this volume shed further light into Lovecraft's wide-ranging involvement with amateur journalism. Arthur Harris was a Welsh amateur publisher with whom Lovecraft stayed in touch for nearly the entirety of his adult life. James Larkin Pearson was a poet who asked for Lovecraft's assistance in the compilation of his poetical works. Paul J. Campbell was a longtime amateur writer and editor who was associated with W. Paul Cook. Having lost a leg through an accident, he founded the Fraternity of the Wooden Leg. This volume also contains some intriguing letters with Winifred Virginia Jackson, with whom Lovecraft seems to have carried on a sporadic romance around 1920. In addition, there are a small batch of letters and postcards to Arthur Leeds, one of the lesser-known members of the Kalem Club." This is a print-on-demand edition.

Condition: Trade paperback, New. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2019. Trade paperback, New, 377 pp. Cover artwork by: Daniel Sauer "H. P. Lovecraft's letters are among the most remarkable literary documents of their time, and they are a major reason why he has become such an icon in contemporary culture. In this new edition, the editors have updated all references to current editions of his work and also exhaustively revised their notes and commentary. Lovecraft wrote tens of thousands of letters, some of them of great length; but more than that, these letters are incredibly revelatory in the depth of detail they provide for all aspects of his life, work, and thought. This volume, first published in 2000, assembles generous extracts of Lovecraft's letters covering the entirety of his life, from childhood until his death. He tells of his youthful interests (poetry, Greco-Roman mythology, science), his childhood friends, and the 'blank' period of 1908-13, after he dropped out of high school. He emerged from his hermitry in 1914 by joining the amateur journalism movement, where he became a leading figure and was involved in numerous literary and personal controversies. In 1921 Lovecraft became acquainted with Sonia Greene, whom he would marry in 1924. By that time, he had begun publishing in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. But his marriage was a failure: living in New York, he was unable find a job and found the teeming city so different from the tranquility of his native Providence, R.I. Returning home in 1926, he embarked on a tremendous literary outburst, and over the next ten years wrote many of the stories that have ensured his literary immortality." This is a print-on-demand edition. Daniel Sauer (illustrator).…
