    Letters from the Editor

    Lovecraft may have written around 87,500 letters – more than Voltaire – and S. T. Joshi (with comments from David Schultz) talked about getting them all published.

    The Price of Fiction

    Robert Price is best known as an essayist on Lovecraft who enjoys writing related fiction that doesn’t try to be purely pastiche. He does detour into politics a little but he gets back on subject. His mishmash of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas’ and Poe’s the ‘Raven’ is worth hearing. Questions and comments can be directed to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mark at mark@loganlibrary.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sam at craftlove37@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Richard at richard@lovecraftpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Providence’s Other Eccentric

    Most people would think Lovecraft would be the most eccentric of his hometown of Providence, but there was at least one other – Clark Stanley, the Rattlesnake King.

    Lovecraft go bragh
