"A truly holy experience"
I believe Saint Ignatius of Loyola to be the most faithful servant of God. As a young Christian reader I love to read about saints. August Derleth sure has a way with words! Ignatius was truly a Saint. For me reading this book was like making a friend. I hope you have the same experience I did. "Make a friend".

Duell, Sloan, and Pearce, 1958

good historical fiction
I grew up in Wisconsin and have visited the real "House on the Mound". The House on the Mound that is there now is not the one described in and which is the center of this book, but was built by Hercules Dousman's son years later.

H. P. Lovecraft, August William Derleth

Arkham House Publishers, 1976

A Literary Treasurechest....
Fritz Leiber aptly dubbed H. P. Lovecraft "a literary Copernicus," for his liberating of Weird Literature from the thrall of hackneyed superstition. But Lovecraft clearly spent most of his time not writing fiction, or ghostwriting fiction for others, but rather corresponding with a huge list of faithful correspondents. Many of these correspondents would drop Lovecraft a letter consisting ...

A Fun Little Holiday Chapbook
This is August's take on Sherlock Holmes and Charles Dickens. Solar Pons is the detective who is akin to a Sherlock Holmes, and it reads just like a Sherlock Holmes detective story. It's about a collector of Dickens who is besieged by a heckler outside his doorstep, which in turn we find out to be another Dickens collector who is after a book. Which we find in the end isn't really worth the time. ...
