Abstract

Originally published as a series of seven pamphlets in the 1950s, The Lovecraft Collectors Library is a collection of relatively obscure and important Lovecraftiana - including many essays, poems, photographs, and stories that had been unpublished or rarely known in HPL's lifetime, as well as early scholarship and literary criticism of Lovecraft and his work. Later reprinted and bound, with some additional material, by the Strange Company in 1979.
