"A Guide to H. P. Lovecraft First Editions

Early Editions Didn't Sell Well, But Try to Find One Today

At the time of his death in 1937, the stories of H. P. Lovecraft were in danger of of being entirely forgotten.

Lovecraft first found expression in the ‘journals’ put out by fellow members of the United Amateur Press Association. At first contributing articles and poetry, he soon found an enthusiastic audience for his weird fiction. From 1916 to 1923, Lovecraft honed his craft with more than two dozen stories in different amateur publications such as The United Amateur, The Vagrant, Home Brew and others. These cheaply printed publications were circulated almost exclusively among amateur press colleagues, often with print runs of less than a dozen copies.

Many of Lovecraft’s best known stories come from this period, including “Herbert West: Re-Animator,” The Lurking Fear,” “Dagon,” and “The Music of Erich Zann.” These journals are incredibly rare, and as Lovecraft's fame and influence continues to grow, it remains a buyer's market."
