New on Librovox, a reading of Henry S. Whitehead’s “Editorial Prejudice Against the Occult” (.MP3 link). He was Lovecraft’s good friend and a fellow weird writer. I have the text online here. It appeared in The Writer in 1922, and thus provides a useful snapshot of the prejudice among American story-magazine editors at the point when Lovecraft was emerging as a public writer. It was later re-worked as a chapter for The Free-lance Writer’s Handbook (1926), but the audio reading appears to be from The Writer.
