S.T. Joshi’s new essay collection The Progression of the Weird Tale is now available in an affordable £2.60 Kindle ebook. The second half is substantially Lovecraft and Barlow, plus a critical assessment of two novels by Frank Belknap Long and memoirs of several fellow Lovecraftians. Also many short encyclopaedia entries, but judging by the one on Arnold Bennett they only cover supernatural novels not short-stories.

His latest blog post also reveals a worthy new mammoth project, A World History of Atheism, expected to take about six or seven years. Sounds great. Grab the graphic novel rights now.
