Book synopsis

Most of us know Kenneth W. Faig, Jr., as one of the leading scholars on H. P. Lovecraft-a meticulous and indefatigable researcher on obscurer corners of the Providence dreamer's life. But over the past several decades, Faig has exhibited enviable skill at fiction-especially fiction that draws upon his deep knowledge of Lovecraft and weird fiction. In this volume we find an augmented edition of Faig's delightful Tales of the Lovecraft Collectors (1995), in which industrious scholars have unearthed surprising facts about Lovecraft's life and work-such as the romance he had with a young Italian girl from Federal Hill. Other stories in the volume continue to draw upon Lovecraft's legacy: "Life and Death," an ingenious hoax purporting to be a lost story by Lovecraft-a hoax that took in many of the leading authorities of the day; "Innsmouth 1984," a revisiting of the setting of Lovecraft's baleful tale of regional horror, "The Shadow over Innsmouth"; and "Gothic Studies," in which fact and fiction are inextricably linked in a tale of a lost Gothic novel. All in all, Lovecraft's Pillow demonstrates both the cleverness and the effectiveness of Kenneth W. Faig, Jr., in the realm of Lovecraftian and weird fiction.
