Description:
Sauk City, Wisconsin: Arkham House,, 1939. Launching Arkham House: a "legendary book in supernatural literature" First edition, sole printing, of the first omnibus edition of Lovecraft's fiction, in the striking dust jacket by the celebrated fantasy illustrator Virgil Finlay. The book was critically hailed for its selection of the author's best stories, from "Dagon" to "At the Mountains of Madness". It also includes his final revised version of "Supernatural Horror in Literature", among the finest literary analyses of the genre's history. Arkham House, named after Lovecraft's fictional New England city, was founded by the late author's friends Derleth and Wandrei to preserve his serialized stories in this hardback edition. Their labour of love marks "the beginning of serious specialist publishing of fantastic fiction in America" (Bleiler). The print run comprised 1,268 copies, and no subsequent edition was published. Provenance: from the substantial occult library of the Arkham House collector and… Read More

Description:
Sauk City, WI: Arkham House, 1939. First Editions. The first major collection of Lovecraft's weird fiction and the first production by the legendary Arkham House - a landmark in 20th century genre publishing. The 32 stories written for various pulp magazines were gathered and preserved by Lovecraft's friends, August Derleth and Donald Wandrei, who founded Arkham House in 1939 to preserve and publish the best of Lovecraft's fiction. The stories "range from early exercises in Dunsanian pastiche to the mature and highly distinctive tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, which construct a horrific cosmological and historical context for human history. Luckless protagonists who stumble upon various dire intrusions of Cthulhu and his kin, or who unwisely pursue dangerous inquiries in the appropriate revelatory tomes, are inevitably brought to repulsively stick ends. Lovecraft became the consummate master of the confirmatory ending, in which what has been suspected all along finally becomes manifest" (Barron, Horror… Read More
