Here’s the blurb:
AUGUST DERLETH REDUX: THE WEIRD TALE 1930-1971
This monograph, published during the centennial year of August Derleth’s birth, contains comprehensive, cutting-edge scholarship that will revitalize scholarship in Derleth, the man and his work. With rare clarity, Haefele demonstrates the essential role Derleth played in the “tale” of the literary Weird Tale genre, while carefully examining the events which led to millions of books by H. P. Lovecraft and others circulating worldwide. Here we find Derleth firmly re- established alongside S. T. Joshi as the eminent champion of Lovecraft he was.
Foreword by Don Herron, cover artwork by Natalie Sorrentino. Limited Edition. 150 copies only.
