While Howard Phillips Lovecraft was closing the final chapter of
his writing career, Fritz Reuter Leiber was only beginning to open
his own. The year was 1936 and Jonquil Leiber, Fritz's first wife,
sent a letter on her own initiative to Lovecraft, knowing that her
husband had been an avid admirer of his work, ever since his first
reading of "The Colour out of Space" and hoping that Lovecraft's
presence in Fritz's slow-paced writing career might be the source
of inspiration he so dearly needed. Lovecraft replied promptly on
November 2 of that year, the seed of an invigorating
correspondence, which lasted till Lovecraft's passing. Fritz Leiber
and H.P. Lovecraft: Writers of the Dark presents Lovecraft's
letters to Leiber, an impressive selection of Leiber's fiction
which shows Lovecraft's influence, and a selection of Leiber's
essays on Lovecraft and Matters Lovecraftian. Features an
introduction by Ben J. S. Szumskyj and an afterword by S.T. Joshi.
