Horrors and Unpleasantries: A Bibliographical History & Collectors' Price Guide to Arkham House
Sheldon Jaffery
Arkham House, the
oldest and most prestigious fantasy publishing house, was founded in
1939 by August Derleth and Donald Wandrei to perpetuate the fiction and
other writings of H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft, who had died less than two
years before, had had virtually none of his writing published in book
form prior to his death. Arkham House later published other fantasy and
science fiction authors, including the first novels of many of these
writers. Arkham House writers include, along with others, Ray Bradbury,
L. Sprague de Camp, Robert Bloch, Clark Ashton Smith and A.E. Van Vogt.
