This is an interesting companion piece to ST Joshi&#x27;s 2-volume biography of Lovecraft: I am Providence.<p>Joshi, while somewhat controversial due to his alleged whitewashing of Lovecraft&#x27;s racial views (as well as some obvious editorializing in IaP), is currently THE Lovecraft authority.  I am Providence is the best resource out there right now for insight into HPL views, life, and publishing history.
