The Private Life of H. P. Lovecraft

This book is not a paperback-- it's a pamphlet. Sonia Davis was a key figure in HPL's life - she was his only wife. The present edition presents her uncensored recollections of her life with Lovecraft, memoirs which had previously been edited for content. For the die hard Lovecraft fan, this book is a must. For those who simply want to read his tales, there's little value here. In any event, there's very little presented here which isn't available or suggested elsewhere. A good volume to own if you want essential texts on Lovecraft's personal life, but otherwise, you may feel you've spent money for something that doesn't hold any new revelations.
