My 2013 Lovecraft Annual has yet to arrive, but Wilum Pugmire has perused a copy and winkled out a nugget ‘o news, on a new S.T. Joshi volume…
“The Variorum Lovecraft, to be publish’d by Hippocampus Press in four volumes. […] could begin publication as early as next year, I hope to present all the relevant textual variants for all the stories that Lovecraft wrote over his short literary career. […] may include the printing of passages from handwritten or typed manuscripts (chiefly the former) that were excised as Lovecraft was writing the story or as he performed a subsequent revision of it.”
Sounds like the ideal candidate for an interactive electronic edition?
THE NEW ANNOTATED H. P. LOVECRAFT will probably include the WEIRD TALES art for just those stories included in the collection. Still, from what Leslie has told me, it looks amazing. I will soon get a galley of the book and will shew it on my webcam for a YouTube vlog.
