* W.R. van Leeuwen (2008), Dreamers of the Dark: Kerry Bolton and the Order of the Left Hand Path, a case-study of a Satanic neo-Nazi society (Masters dissertation for The University of Waikato. Has nothing to say on Bolton’s fascination with Lovecraft’s various elitist philosophical stances and the racialist worldview he shared with his milieu. But van Leeuwen does allege, in passing, that Bolton was both the publisher and author of Walter Grimwald’s 1995 pamphlet Lovecraft’s Fascism. It’s only fair to add that Bolton has responded that “Van Leeuwen’s thesis is a tissue of pure (and impure) inventions”.)
