A new blog post from S. T. Joshi, which reveals a major new book…

David E. Schultz and I are close to completing work on a comprehensive volume of memoirs of Lovecraft, under the title Ave atque Vale: Reminiscences of H. P. Lovecraft. This will be a new publication by Necronomicon Press.”

It promises to be more comprehensive than 1998’s Lovecraft Remembered, and will be annotated…

“and we have annotated the individual items to correct errors and provide other useful information”.

Joshi also plans to self-publish a book of essays titled The Development of the Weird Tale, with some new essays. Of the titles, “Samuel Loveman: Shelley in Brooklyn” (previously in a booklet on weird poetry) sounds rather interesting to Lovecraft scholars, as does the end multi-essay section “Lovecraft and Some Lost Classics of the Supernatural”.
