Description
Ken Faig's latest volume of essays delves into the lesser-known corners of H.P. Lovecraft's life and world. A detailed exploration of his English ancestry reveals the origins of the Lovecraft or Lovecroft name back to the 15th century, while an essay on a key family relative sheds light on its influence on the writer's early work. Faig also examines two of Lovecraft's earliest residences in Providence, Rhode Island, and delves into the amateur journalism that was a lifelong hobby. This research draws upon a range of sources, including maps, census records, and letters, to paint a more complete picture of Lovecraft and his surroundings. By uncovering these previously obscure aspects of Lovecraft's life, Faig enriches our understanding of the man and his work, providing new insights into the interplay between his personal experiences and literary output.
