About the Editor
Robert H. Waugh is professor emeritus in the English department at the State University of New York at New Paltz. He is a leading Lovecraft scholar, whose books include The Monster in the Mirror: Looking for H. P. Lovecraft (2006) and A Monster of Voices: Speaking for H. P. Lovecraft (2011).
This is a volume that may be useful to academics and students who
are starting out with Lovecraft. It may be especially useful to
advanced university students who are required by their thesis
supervisor to pair Lovecraft with another author. I did find some
topics neatly summed up and clarified.
