Greetings Everyone!
My new book, Horror as Racism in H. P. Lovecraft: White Fragility in the Weird Tales, has just been released by Bloomsbury, the foremost academic publisher in the United States and in the United Kingdom!
I hope that all of you will pick up a copy; you can order it online from the publishers and, of course, from Amazon and other online booksellers around the world. The book is also available in bookstores here in the states as well as overseas.

Paul Rolland, Lovecraft scholar and author of The Curious
Case of H. P. Lovecraft (2014), writes: “The deficiencies of the man do
not...debase the quality of his best work.
If anything, they invest it with a twisted passion that is missing from
his more fantastic fiction.”
You may agree with this, or not. But “twisted passion” is the perfect phrase to describe Lovecraft’s work, especially the racist works. Horror as Racism in H. P. Lovecraft is, at the very least, an attempt to study and understand exactly how passionate and twisted Lovecraft really was.
So, please check it out!
