New to me, I’m pleased to see that Wildside Press republished Frank Belknap Long’s memoir Howard Phillips Lovecraft: Dreamer on the Nightside<\/a><\/em> as an affordable paperback in September 2016. Not only that, but there’s an ebook and a German translation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Important though the book is, I’ve clearly shown in Lovecraft in Historical Context<\/em> that Long’s memory over that long distance of time is not to be entirely trusted. His recall needs to be checked against good primary evidence from the period.<\/p>\n

Amazon have used paperback copies at around \u00a310 inc. shipping. As usual the new paperback is about 70% more expensive from eBay than from Amazon. Still, even then it’s cheaper than the 1975 Arkham hardback.<\/p>\n

No ebook listing on Amazon, but Wildside’s ‘up again, down again, broken images’ website<\/a> reveals an ebook there priced at a “can’t-afford-it but got-to-have-it” $4.99. Checkout works but regrettably there’s no Paypal, and also uncertainty about if one will have to sign up to the site in order to download one’s purchased book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d never heard of, seen or used, Amazon Pay before. I assume it’s a very lagging competitor to PayPal. But apparently it comes pre-loaded with your Amazon account…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yet Amazon logged me in with my US rather than UK account, so… fail<\/em>. Just get the ebook onto the regular Amazon USA and UK, please, guys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
