Lovecraftian Proceedings No. 3

This third collection, like the previous two, contains the most novel and cutting-edge scholarship in Lovecraftiana, taking familiar topics down unfamiliar paths, amply demonstrating that H. P. Lovecraft's work has more resonance in modern culture than ever before. All in all, a bumper crop of criticism and anaysis that will appeal to academics and Lovecraft's most erudite fans alike!



Lovecraftian Proceedings is the Official Organ of the Dr. Henry Armitage Memorial Symposium. Established in 2013 as a key part of NecronomiCon Providence, the Armitage Symposium fosters exploration of Lovecraft as a rationalist who created an elaborate cosmic mythology, and how this mythology was influenced by, and has come to influence, numerous other authors and artists.
