About this title

Synopsis

In this anthology, Rubert (author and advertising executive who became editor of Arkham House in 1997) probes into the firm's history and its controversial founder, August Derleth. In the 21 essays, he explores some of the myths that have surfaced since Derleth's death in 1971, the Lovecraft legacy, the circumstances surrounding the Donald Wandrei litigation, key Arkham House writers of horror and fantasy fiction, and new biographical and historical information about legendary pulp writers. He also includes 21 unusual stories by each writer that are either unpublished or have never been published in a previous Arkham House collection. The volume is not indexed. Annotation c.
