In more ways than one, the late August Derleth is responsible for
the existence of this book.
Back in 1955--when I was in my early teens---my life was per-
manently and happily altered when I discovered Arkham House, a
small publishing firm headed by Derleth based in the village of
Sauk City, Wisconsin. Arkham House specialized (and still does)
in books of macabre and fantasy fiction, starting up in 1939 with
publication of a 1200-copy edition of a large omnibus of H. P. Love-
craft s stories entitled The Outsider and Others, which various New
York publishers had declined to bring out. Against many negative
proclamations, including those of Edmund Wilson, who referred
to Lovecraft s stories as "hack work," Derleth campaigned tire-
lessly for over thirty years to help gain Lovecraft the kind of serious
literary recognition he now enjoys.
