Out now, The Fossil #380 (July 2019), free in PDF.

The issue contains items of Lovecraft interest…

1) an essay by Ken Faig, looking in detail at Lovecraft’s acceptance of the NAPA silver ‘honorable mention’ medal for “The Street”. He solves a decade-long puzzle on the matter, with the aid of access to a previously inaccessible January 1922 amateur publication.

2) in a following note, Faig also briefly considers the assertion that in 1937 there was a lost ‘primary’ Lovecraft publication…

a “small booklet of poems” by Lovecraft entitled Science Fiction Bard, published by Donald Wollheim

3) a bibiographic and biographical follow-up to a Wilson Shepherd article, which appeared in the previous April 2019 issue.
