Colin Wilson specialist Gary Lachman notes on his blog that…

my article “The Horror at Clinton Street: H.P. Lovecraft in Brooklyn,” is in the September 2020 issue of Fortean Times, #396

The article is structured around biographical details of Lovecraft and Sonia in New York, interspersed with short paragraphs highlighting the very worst of the racist body-descriptions to be gleaned from the New York letters. Then there’s a standard short gloss on Lovecraft’s time alone at Clinton Street, with no additional research on Red Hook in the 1920s. For instance, how piquant it would have been just to point out that the large number of Syrians there were actually refugee Christians, fleeing persecution in their homeland. Or to note that Lovecraft later planned and outlined to Dwyer a long story which would feature the Clinton Street rooming house as the monster. Or to learn just in passing that Lovecraft’s closest friend in New York was a gay man, Samuel Loveman, and that another was a Harlem-based anarchist who lectured and published on racial equality. The article ends with a potted summary of the story “Red Hook” and “He”.
