With publishers on the lookout for SF again, the anthology Future Lovecraft has been picked up for reprinting with a view to major bookstore distribution…

Future Lovecraft Will Return… as a trade paperback. Future Lovecraft, originally published by Innsmouth Free Press and edited by me and Paula R. Stiles, is being reprinted by Prime Books. It will be available August 2012 in all sales channels. What does this mean? Brick-and-mortar sales. You’ll be able to walk into your Barnes & Noble or favourite indie store and pick a copy.

It’s already listed for pre-order on Amazon UK, which would seem to show that Prime is a publisher with some savvy. You can also currently get a Kindle edition for a bargain £2.49 in the UK.

All-Story in the 1910s

All-Story covers, from the 1910s run of this proto-pulp. One can see why these story magazines might have appealed to the young Lovecraft, who was an avid reader of them…

These covers were taken from a ERBzine survey of appearances of Edgar Rice Burroughs stories. More might be found, from a complete run of cover images of the 1910s.
