South County Independent on C.M. Eddy and H.P. Lovecraft
Saturday, March 6, 2010
An article from the South County Independent about a local publisher spotlights C.M. Eddy, a Weird Tales magazine contributor and correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft. "Pulp-Era Horror is Resurrected in Book of Tales" showcases the work of Fenham Publishing, which recently brought out The Loved Dead and Other Tales, a new collection of about a dozen works by Eddy. This is the same outfit that published The Gentleman from Angell Street: Memories of H.P. Lovecraft, a book about personal accounts of H.P. Lovecraft by Eddy's family members.
This new Eddy collection appeared late last year. It's the second major collection of his stories to roll off the presses in modern times.
The South County Independent piece succinctly describes Lovecraft's relationship with Eddy. Some secondary quirks about Eddy's life, such as his musical compositions, are also discussed. Anyone interested in the finer points of HPL's life and members of the original "Lovecraft Circle" will want to bookmark this brief, but informative snapshot.
