Conversations with the Weird Tales Circle
is a massive, oversize, celebration of the lives of H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith,
Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, Seabury Quinn, E. Hoffman Price, Henry Kuttner, C.L. Moore,
Lee Brown Coye, Hannes Bok, August Derleth, Edmond Hamilton, Manly Wade Wellman, Fritz Leiber,
Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Donald Wandrei, Mary Elizabeth Counselman, and many others. Each writer
has their own section in the book, complete with a custom drawing of the author by noted artist
Alex McVey. The sections contain letters and essays by the writers, with many interviews and memoirs,
often by other writers in the Circle. Many of the articles are never before reprinted, with several
coming from 1930s and 1940s fanzines that are now very difficult to find. With dozens of colour and
black and white photographs, this is an important and illuminating look at a group of people that
defined an era. Essential for every fantasy and horror fan.
