New on Archive.org, and there for the first time, de Camp’s early Dark Valley Destiny: the life of Robert E. Howard. Howard scholars appear to have disliked the book’s Freudian ‘digging’ for neuroses and more, the fashionable ‘armchair psychoanalysis’ of the sort quite common in 1970s biographies. Seems to have been partly written 1970-74, at a guess as an offshoot of de Camp’s Lovecraft biography. Then published as a full book in a popular edition in 1983.
