Description
Arkham House, the most famous small press in the field of weird fiction, has been a pioneering publisher since 1939. Founded in Sauk City, Wisconsin, it has played a significant role in the work of many notable authors, including H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, Ray Bradbury, Fritz Leiber, Ramsey Campbell, and others. This new edition, written by S. T. Joshi, a leading authority on weird fiction, provides a comprehensive history of the firm's eight decades of publishing, from its early days to the present. The book lists the entire contents of all Arkham House publications, including those of its sub-imprints, Mycroft & Moran and Stanton & Lee. Joshi also includes three rare essays by August Derleth, co-founder of Arkham House, which offer insight into the firm's status and history. A thorough index of names and titles completes this invaluable reference work, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the press and its notable authors.
