Our readers will never forget his outstanding talent, first revealed in the columns of this newspaper. The son of a respected Arkham family, Jeremy's interest in the arts was encouraged by numerous fine teachers; he himself spoke often of Pickman, who introduced Jeremy to the wonders of painting. Hartwood's very fust sketch for this newspaper is still famous.

The artist's attraction to the domain of the supernatural, while not without precedent, renders him unpalatable to many; his taste for the macabre exerts demands that only the strongest stomachs can meet.

  • Escritor Americano Do Fantástico, Com Alguma Influência Em Ficção
    Howard Phillips Lovecraft (20/08/1890 - 15/03/1937) Um Resumo Biográfico Escritor americano do Fantástico, com alguma influência em Ficção Científica, seus trabalhos foram publicados inicialmente em Weird Tales, enquanto seus ensaios e versos apareceram em publicações amadoras (zines), tendo êle mesmo sido um dos fundadores e incentivadores do gênero. Realmente, foi nos primórdios da década de 1930 que se iniciou o fandom organizado de FC. Os primeiros clubes e suas publicações foram efêmeras e tão logo um encerrava suas atividades outro surgia. Lovecraft teve um papel central neste movimento, pois muitos editores de fanzines pertenciam a seu círculo de relações. Tinha também como companheiros jornalistas amadores, ou que eram como tais por êle recrutados, tornando-se pioneiros em publicações de fãs de FC (fanzines), dentre os quais se destacaram: “Dragon-Fly” e “Leaves”, de Barlow; “The Fantasy Fan”, de Charles D. Hornig; “The Phantagraph”, de Donald A. Wollheim. Em 1934, William L. Crawford lançou uma publicação de nome “Unusual Stories”, que se tornou “Marvel Tales”, na esperança de persuadir escritores profissionais a contribuir gratuitamente com o objetivo de criar-se um movimento suficientemente forte de fãs que possibilitasse converter publicações amadoras em profissionais, auto-sustentáveis. O esquema nunca funcionou, então ou posteriormente. Crawford também tentou publicar, em 1936, “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”, de Lovecraft, como livro, conseguindo imprimir 400 cópias, 200 das quais encadernadas, só chegando a vender 150 antes de seu colapso financeiro. Atualmente são considerados padrão de coleções: • “The Dunwich Horror and Others”, de 1963, revista em 1984; • “At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels”, de 1964, revista em 1985; • “Dagon and Other Macabre Tales”, de 1965, revista em 1986.

  • The Cosmology of H. P. Lovecraft*
    THE COSMOLOGY OF H. P. LOVECRAFT* by Marcia G. Kutrieh In addition to treatment of matters of existence on conscious and unconscious levels, H.P. Lovecraft presents in his short novels and stories an imaginative interpretation of unseen phenomena and the total cosmic universe which his fictional characters view primarily through dreams. Through this approach, Lovecraft creates his own special brand of literature, neither weird nor scientific but rather cosmic in nature, an occult fantasy of sorts. The manner in which Lovecraft manifests his expanded cosmic order throughout his work has proved to be a fascinating study. In abstract terms, Lovecraft describes the state of harmony which encompasses his total cosmology as "an All-in-One and One-in-All" of limitless being and self, not merely a state of one time-space continuum, but one allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence's whole unbounded sweep. This last utter sweep has no confines and it outreaches fancy and mathematics alike ("Through the Gates of the Silver Key," 1939; p. 193).1 Yet, for Lovecraft, even this description provides a concept which is still only a fraction of the wholeness of this state of being. One may conceive infinity in the vast number of dimensions which this state holds. Time is motionless and without beginning or end but the axiom that time has motion and is the cause of change is for this author an illusion. In fact time is itself an illusion, for except to the narrow sight of beings moving in limited dimensions, there is no past, present or future.

    108 FANTASY H. P. LOVECRAFT A Biographical Sketch by F. LEE BALDWIN Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born August 20th, 1890, in Providence, Rhode Island, about a mile east of 66 College Street, where he now lives. Began to read at four; Grimm’s Fairy Tales and Arabian Nights being among the first volumes he seized upon. Later, he came across books about Greek and Roman mythology and was still more fascinated by them. He first tried wri- ting at six and his earliest story was written at seven—about a cave of rob- bers—called “The Noble Eavesdrop- per.” At eight he began to take an interest in science—first chemistry— then geography, astronony, and other subjects, but his first love for mythology and mystery never diminished.
