Condition: Trade paperback, New. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2025. Trade paperback, New, 342 pp. Cover artwork by: Dan Sauer "This newest volume of Ken Faig's extraordinary researches into the personal interactions of H. P. Lovecraft exhibits all the qualities that Faig has displayed over a lifetime of scholarship: a thorough canvassing of documentary sources (including census records, city directories, and the like); a sensitivity to the nuances of Lovecraft's life and work; and an expansive understanding of the historical context in which Lovecraft lived and wrote. Here we find essays on Lovecraft's relatives (his uncle Franklin C. Clark; his second cousin, Ethel Phillips Morrish, who could remember Lovecraft when he was four years old); the principal of his elementary school, Abbie A. Hathaway, along with his private tutor, Arthur P. May; the Black servant, Delilah Townsend, who worked at 454 Angell Street and continued to run errands for Lovecraft and his aunt in later years; and Mariano de Magistris, the tenant who worked the quarry that Lovecraft's family owned.".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the late nineteenth century, a young boy, Herbert Hereward of Providence, R.I., made the acquaintance of a man named Eustace Daubeny, who has managed to establish telepathic communication with wormlike creatures on the moon whom he calls the Selenites. Eustace maintains that the Selenites seek to work with the denizens of Earth for mutual benefit, but Herbert suspects that the moon-creatures have a more sinister purpose. Native Americans share these suspicions, and the result is a succession of unnerving events that threaten the entire world with an unthinkable cataclysm. In this engaging tale of science fiction, Ken Faig, Jr. presents in Herbert Hereward a thinly disguised portrait of the great Rhode Island writer H. P. Lovecraft. He envisions Hereward regaining his childhood home at 454 Angell Street and living a long life, with marriage and children-all while continuing to battle the nameless menace of the Selenites.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. David Van Bush (1882-1959) was a uniquely American phenomenon. Born in Pennsylvania, Bush became a Congregational pastor but spent most of his life lecturing on a wide array of subjects. He was an early proponent of what would later be termed the "self-help" movement, writing such books as Applied Psychology and Scientific Living (1922), The Psychology of Sex (1924), If You Want to Be Rich (1954), and many others. He was also a poet, with such distinctive volumes as Peace Poems and Sausages (1915) and Poems of Mastery and Love Verse (1922). Bush is virtually forgotten today, known only because the supernaturalist H. P. Lovecraft revised some of his prose and poetry. Ken Faig, Jr. has spent years researching this exhaustive biography of Bush, which chronicles the ups and downs of his long life, which included arrests by various government agencies for marketing products of dubious quality. Faig provides plot summaries of every one of Bush's books and, in general, paints a portrait of a dynamic salesman with boundless self-confidence who was part guru and part charlatan. Everyone interested in the culture of the interwar years in America will find this work fascinating. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Wilmott Watkyns is no ordinary private investigator. This plucky, dynamic woman has been involved in all manner of investigations in Cincinnati from the 1970s to the present day. What's more, she has specialized in the probing of ghostly or supernatural phenomena, using psychics, seances, and other paranormal means to solve the mystery. In this first volume of her "casebook," Wilmott recounts some of her more interesting and provocative cases. There is the case of a diner haunted by the ghost of a frequent client; an apartment plagued by the revenants of its former tenants; a house afflicted by screaming spectres; and much else. Ken Faig, Jr., author of Tales of the Lovecraft Collectors, has brought his formidable skills as a scholar, critic, and fiction writer to bear in these engaging narratives-some of which probe disturbing instances of sexual aberrations. Wilmott herself is an unapologetic lesbian, but she always places her professional duties above her sexual proclivities-but that doesn't mean she can't dally with a scrumptious female after the case is over!
