Letters to Robert Bloch

Description

When the sixteen-year old Robert Bloch wrote a fan letter to H.P. Lovecraft in 1933, he had no idea that it would be the beginning of an intense, four-year correspondence that end only with Lovecraft’s tragic death in 1937. What is most remarkable about these 50 letters is how Lovecraft treats Bloch as an equal, even though he is nearly three times his age and a titan in the world of weird fiction. This volume features the unabridged text of nearly all of Lovecraft’s letters to Robert Bloch, with extensive footnotes by David E. Schultz and S.T. Joshi, as well as a new preface by Robert Bloch himself.
