Never having a book of his stories published in his lifetime, he became a best seller after his death. Dying in poverty and obscurity, convinced of his own utter failure, he has been hailed not only as the equal of Poe but even as once of the greatest writers of all time. A self-proclaimed misanthrope, he collected a circle of devoted friends, who remember him as one of the kindest, most delightful and most lovable persons they had known. The son of parents both of whom died insane, Lovecraft became a powerful philosophical thinker. A scientific materialist, he embraced pseudo-scientific racial theories, only to abandon them in his last years. A poseur who liked to fancy himself as an eighteenth century English gentleman, he condemned poses and affectations in others. A political ultra-conservative, he became a Socialist and New Dealer. A man who prided himself on aristocratic reticence, he poured out his inmost thoughts in at least 100,000 letters, making him one of the greatest letter writers of all time. Here is the tale of his weird upbringing; his bizarre habits, preferences, his tragi-comic literary and marital careers; his key role in the origin of science-fiction fandom; and how he worked his nightmares and neuroses into the stories that became a legend after his death"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE///---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)--- Size: 5.75w x 8.5h Inches.

First edition. First edition. Illustrated. 510 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Inscribed: 'for my favorite editor'. Inscribed by the author on the front flyleaf, "For my favorite editor, Judy Lynn Del Rey, from L. Sprague de Camp" Presentation copy of this pioneering biography, by a prolific author who was unsympathetic if not actively hostile to his subject. De Camp notably discussed the "questionable" nature of August Derleth's assertions of control of the Lovecraft copyrights. The fine working title, Eldritch Yankee Gentleman, was nixed by the publisher. Inscribed to editor Judy-Lynn del Rey (1943-1986), editor at Ballantine Books and then editor-in-chief of the Del Rey Books imprint at Random House. "At the time of her death, she had become the dominant figure in US sf and fantasy publishing" (SFE). A number of de Camp's books were published by Ballantine and Del Rey (including the paperback edition of this biography). An important book in Lovecraft's posthumous career and a nice association.

Inscribed by the author on the front flyleaf Illustrated. 510 pp. 1 vols. 8vo.
