books by Arkham House Publishers     books:       Memories of the Space Age4 reviews J. G. Ballard Arkham House Publishers, 1988 End of "The Dream" I read the book several years ago in its Arkham House first ed. It floored me and has stayed with me ever since. These stories are amazing work. The idea, from one of the Canaveral stories, of people taking pieces of dead astronauts and making them into objects of religious veneration was astounding, and seemingly incredible until pieces of Columbia began to show up on eBay. This is simply one ...             Cthulhu 2000: A Lovecraftian Anthology19 reviews Arkham House Publishers, 1995 Very good modern collection of Cthulhu short stories _Cthulhu 2000_ is (as one might guess from the title) a collection of recently written short stories set in the universe created by H.P. Lovecraft, none by Lovecraft himself but rather by a variety of different authors. Editor Jim Turner provides a nice introduction to the Lovecraft's writings, drawing attention to two themes in the Cthulhu mythos. One theme is that though Lovecraft is in many ...             Tales of the Quintana Roo3 reviews James Tiptree Jr. Arkham House Publishers, 1986 magical This is one of the most striking books I have read in the last year. It contains three short stories, all set in the Yucatan with the same main character. All three deal with ambiguous, mysterious, and "magical" events that were told to the main character. The stories are told in a way that leaves you wondering if the events they tell of happened or if they came from the fevered minds and ...             The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions9 reviews H. P. Lovecraft Arkham House Publishers, 1989 A Must for Fans Having read and enjoyed most of Lovecraft's other works, I picked up this book for a diversion - curious to see how the collaborations worked out. I was unprepared for the fantastic quality of some of the stories, which in my opinion rank with his best work. My two personal favorites include "The Last Test" and "The Mound." Those two stories are worth the price alone. Not all of the stories, of ...             At the Mountains of Madness and Other Macabre Tales21 reviews H. P. Lovecraft Arkham House Publishers Inc., 1985 About this edition . . . . I will not try to write a complete review, since I see that there are already 17 reviews available here, several of fine quality. This edition is of great interest because it issues from Arkham House. Arkham House publishing was founded by August Derleth, a protege of H.P. Lovecraft who himself wrote a rather large volume of pastiche material using the Cthulhu mythos of Lovecraft. One motive ...             At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels H.P. Lovecraft Arkham House Publishers, 1964             Dagon and Other Macabre Tales6 reviews H. P. Lovecraft, T. E. Klein, ... Arkham House Publishers, 1986 The Lovecraft Experience In my humble opinion, there are two ways to read Lovecraft. The first, and best, is to get your hands on an original "Wierd Tales" or other pulp. There is something about the musty smell that adds to the tale. For true conisours, read them under the covers with a flashlight, late in the evening hours. Realizing that original pulps may be prohibitively expensive, the Arkham House Editions are ...             Lovecraft Remembered2 reviews Arkham House Publishers, 1998 A great idea! There have been a number of biographical sketches or personal recollections of the immortal H. P. Lovecraft issued over the decades since his untimely death, but many of these were privately printed or issued in paper pamphlets of less than 100 copies total, since so many of Lovecraft's friends were in the Amateur Press movement, and it was natural for them to publish their memories and ...             Sixty Years of Arkham House: A History and Bibliography1 review Arkham House Publishers, 1999 A "must read" for all Arkham House fans and supporters! Arkham House has been publishing and reprinting high-quality horror and science fiction in quality limited editions for some sixty years, and this supplies a comprehensive history and bibliography of its publications. From Derleth's capsule history of the publisher up to 1969 to the summary of its winning publications, this will prove a 'must' reference for any Arkham House collector.             Collected Ghost Stories1 review Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman Arkham House Publishers, 1974 Marvelous collection of quirky ghost stories This collection is well worth the price of admission. Not only is this an attractively packaged title with a dustjacket you could hang on a wall, the stories themselves -- most from the late 19th Century -- pack a punch despite the passage of time. Buy and enjoy!             Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: Golden Anniversary Anthology24 reviews H. P. Lovecraft, Divers Hands Arkham House Publishers, 1990 J.K. Potter's Illustrations Are Rich (Eldritch) Well done thou good and faithful servants. Especially you J.K. Potter! Much has been said about the stories and deservedly so, but Potter's "photos" of Lovecraftian creatures are also well worth mentioning.             The Jaguar Hunter9 reviews Lucius Shepard Arkham House Publishers, 1987 Never read anything so consistently wistful. This book is introspective without being maudlin, and I find myself struggling for a better word than "wistful", but alas, no cross-referenced OED at my fingertips. Therefore: I can promise you this, there's not a happy ending in the book, and I found myself at first very disappointed in this growing trend. At some point in the third short story, I realized that he would supply no easy answers, ...             The Hounds of Tindalos Frank Belknap Long Arkham House Publishers, Inc., 1946             Arkham's Masters of Horror: A 60th Anniversary Anthology Retrospective of the First 30 Years of Arkham House6 reviews Arkham House Publishers, 2000 Must have for weird fiction fans Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Arkham House, editor Peter Ruber focuses on first 30 years of Arkham's existence, when co-founder August Derleth ran the whole operation almost single-handed. Ruber's historical & biographical essays steal the show. His introduction, an apology for Derleth, serves as a useful overview of Derleth's controversial publishing career and Arkham House's tumultuous ...             Selected Letters 1934-1937 (Selected Letters)2 reviews 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 ...             Miscellaneous Writings6 reviews H. P. Lovecraft Arkham House Publishers, 1995 An extensive and impressive collection of works Miscellaneous Writings is an extensive and impressive collection of works by the famous and ground-breaking horror author H. P. Lovecraft, who is perhaps best known for creating Great Cthullu and other primordial cosmic entities. This volume compiles Lovecraft's little-known letters, essays, short stories, and much more spreading the gamut from nonfiction to personal to instructional to ...              search for books 1934-1937, anniversary, anthology, arkham, bibliography, collected, cthulhu, golden, history, hounds, hunter, jaguar, letters, lovecraft, lovecraftian, macabre, madness, masters, memories, miscellaneous, mountains, mythos, quintana, remembered, retrospective, revisions, selected, stories, tindalos, writings books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
