Facts Concerning HP Lovecraft and His Environs

Today, HP Lovecraft’s name is a byword for the mysterious, the arcane and the bizarre. Yet during his short, unhappy life, he was all but unknown. Physically weak and tormented by his own eccentricities, his existence was spent in shabby dwellings in Providence and Brooklyn. All of this is documented in the map and guide within, along with the real-life locations that formed the basis for his most famous fictional creations – Arkham, Innsmouth, Dunwich and Kingsport. Facts Concerning HP Lovecraft And His Environs is written by Gary Lachman, author of books on topics ranging from the evolution of consciousness to literary suicides and the history of the occult. He has also written numerous biographies, including those of Aleister Crowley, Rudolf Steiner, C. G. Jung, and Colin Wilson. As Gary Valentine, he was a founding member of the pop group Blondie.
