Lovecraft: Struck by the Cold - in August!


{30 August 1935} "Almost knocked down by the cold, but on my way! ...Virginia seems really bleak & strange ... am dodging showers & circulating among the Poe vestigia. Just now on a bench in Capitol Park with a squirrel virtually climbing over me. ...Yrs between tooth-chatters - Melmoth III.

[Postcard described by ST Joshi as 'The Old Stone House and Enchanted Garden, Edgar Allen {sic} Poe Shrine, Richmond Virginia' The mispelled middle name is crossed out and spelled correctly, according to Joshi.]

Letters of H P Lovecraft and Donald Wandrei, p. 360, 361

About Me

My Photo
Kentucky, United States
Besides being a Lovecraftian, I'm a writer with numerous publications of short stories, poems, and essays: Down in The Cellar, The Open Vein, +Horror Library+ Vol. 1, Horror Mall, Blood Moon Rising, Dark Recesses, and more. I'm an associate editor at Miskatonic Books where I blog. A long time member of Horror Library's T-12 (now defunct) where over 120,000 readers enjoyed my stories. My HPL blog has garnered notoriety since 2006, has nearly 3000 posts on HPL facts - many not found elsewhere, and has accumulated over 215,000 reads. I have written an unpublished biography on Lin Carter, and currently writing a biography of Lovecraft's grandfather.
