H. P. Lovecraft: Letters to Family and Family Friends is now listed on the Hippocampus Press website. Nice and chunky at 1,110 pages, mostly because of the immense amount of letters to his aunts Lillian Clark and Annie Gamwell. These letters are here given “complete and unabridged” and also in a meticulously annotated and indexed form. There are also “previously unpublished letters written by Lovecraft’s grandfather, Whipple V. Phillips, to his grandson in the 1890s”.

Quite reasonably priced, at $60 for both in paperback. There’s an “Add to cart” button on the page, so I assume they’re shipping now. No sign of them yet on either Amazon USA or UK or eBay, but no doubt they’ll appear there in due course.

The books have a pleasing cover design by Daniel V. Sauer, around evocative art by David C. Verba.
