The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s Voluminous podcast takes a peek into the cache of Frank Belknap Long letters recently acquired by Brown University. The letter being read and discussed had previously been published in abbreviated form in Selected Letters III. Their accompanying blog post tracks down some of the relevant art and allusions. Apparently creamed cottage cheese was disliked by the normally cheese-loving Lovecraft, on account of its “rude” appearance.

The H.P. Lovecraft Book Club podcast has this week also taken a look at the Letters from March-July 1932, including Lovecraft’s reactions to the death of his aunt. There is also the earlier look at Letters, January-March 1932.
