Miscellaneous Writings

Years in preparation, this massive assemblage of Lovecraftiana is organized into nine sections, each preceded by editor S.T. Joshi's illuminating commentary: Dreams and Fancies, The Weird Fantasist, Mechanistic Materialist, Literary Critic, Political Theorist, Antiquarian Travels, Amateur Journalist, Epistolarian, and Personal. The individual works by Lovecraft -- over eighty in number -- are too numerous to be listed here, but include such central statements as the "Commonplace Book, " "History of the Necronomicon, " "Notes on Writing Weird Fiction, " "The Materialist Today, " "Observations on Several Parts of America, " "Some Notes on a Nonentity, " "Cats and Dogs, " and much, much more.
