    Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied by his Uncle George-- publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide-- and his childhood friend Letitia. On their journey to the manor of Mr. Braithwhite, heir to the estate that owned one of Atticus's ancestors, they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours. At the manor Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret cabal named the Order of the Ancient Dawn which has gathered to orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus

    Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890--1937) has been described variously as the successor to Edgar Allan Poe, a master of the Gothic horror tale, and one of the father of modern supernatural fantasy fiction. Published originally in pulp magazines, his works have grown in popularity since his death, so that more than thirty editions are currently in print. Yet only recently has Lovecraft received serious attention from literary critics. And until now no one has examined his work from a post-structuralist perspective. Donald Burleson fills that void, for the first time in an extended study bringing th

    This collection of essays examines the legacy of H.P. Lovecraft’s most important critical work, Supernatural Horror in Literature. Each chapter illuminates a crucial aspect of Lovecraft’s criticism, from its aesthetic, philosophical and literary sources, to its psychobiological underpinnings, to its pervasive influence on the conception and course of horror and weird literature through the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. These essays investigate the meaning of cosmic horror before and after Lovecraft, explore his critical relevance to contemporary social science, feminist and queer readings of his work, and ultimately reveal Lovecraft’s importance for contemporary speculative philosophy, film and literature 1.

    Notes:

    "H. P. Lovecraft's daily life revolved around correspondence. He is estimated to have written 100,000 letters in his relatively short lifetime, and 20,000 of these letters survive. ... The following is a sequence of thirty-four letters about the work of H.P. Lovecraft, each one written from Scott to Scott, who have been writing letters to each other for more than thirty years. ... It should be noted that the texts that follow both are and are not "real" letters. On the one hand, all of them originated as actual missives composed by one of us and sent to the other over the course of almost exactly one year; and some of them retain traces of the specific occasions in which they were thus written and sent. On the other hand, all of these letters have also been revised, rethought, reordered, by both of us, working at times on the other's work, to the point that these texts are necessarily unmoored from their literal points of origin. Many of the letters have footnotes -- some written by that letter's author and some by the other Scott. Thus this book is explicitly about questions of dialogue and voice: how many voices are there in a dialogue between some Scotts? The answer, no doubt, is that there are always less than and more than two. ... This first in this series of letters was written on 1 August 2014, the 180th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, and the 178th anniversary of Charles Darwin's arrival in Bahai, Brazil, fresh from his voyage on the HMS Beagle. The final letter was written on July 15, 2015, the same date as the dedication of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in 484 BCE. Lovecraft had a special fondness for the story of these cultic twins, whose temple remains today in ruins."--Preface. - Includes bibliographical references and index. - Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed

    Bringing together new accounts of the pulp horror writings of H.P. Lovecraft and the rise of the popular early 20th-century religious movements of American Pentecostalism and Social Gospel, Pentecostal Modernism challenges traditional histories of modernism as a secular avant-garde movement based in capital cities such as London or Paris. Disrupting accounts that separate religion from progressive social movements and mass culture, Stephen Shapiro and Philip Barnard construct a new Modernism belonging to a history of regional cities, new urban areas powered by the hopes and frustrations of recently urbanized populations seeking a better life. In this way, Pentecostal Modernism shows how this process of urbanization generates new cultural practices including the invention of religious traditions and mass-cultural forms

    "H. P. Lovecraft's daily life revolved around correspondence. He is estimated to have written 100,000 letters in his relatively short lifetime, and 20,000 of these letters survive. . . . The following is a sequence of thirty-four letters about the work of H. P. Lovecraft, each one written from Scott to Scott, who have been writing letters to each other for more than thirty years. . . . It should be noted that the texts that follow both are and are not "real" letters. On the one hand, all of them originated as actual missives composed by one of us and sent to the other over the course of almost exactly one year; and some of them retain traces of the specific occasions in which they were thus written and sent. On the other hand, all of these letters have also been revised, rethought, reordered, by both of us, working at times on the other's work, to the point that these texts are necessarily unmoored from their literal points of origin. Many of the letters have footnotes -- some written by that letter's author and some by the other Scott. Thus this book is explicitly about questions of dialogue and voice: how many voices are there in a dialogue between some Scotts? The answer, no doubt, is that there are always less than and more than two. . . . This first in this series of letters was written on 1 August 2014, the 180th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, and the 178th anniversary of Charles Darwin's arrival in Bahia, Brazil, fresh from his voyage on the HMS Beagle. The final letter was written on July 15, 2015, the same date as the dedication of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in 484 BCE. Lovecraft had a special fondness for the story of these cultic twins, whose temple remains today in ruins." -- Preface. - Includes bibliographical references and index

    Bringing together new accounts of the pulp horror writings of H.P. Lovecraft and the rise of the popular early 20th-century religious movements of American Pentecostalism and Social Gospel, Pentecostal Modernism challenges traditional histories of modernism as a secular avant-garde movement based in capital cities such as London or Paris. Disrupting accounts that separate religion from progressive social movements and mass culture, Stephen Shapiro and Philip Barnard construct a new Modernism belonging to a history of regional cities, new urban areas powered by the hopes and frustrations of recently urbanized populations seeking a better life. In this way, Pentecostal Modernism shows how this process of urbanization generates new cultural practices including the invention of religious traditions and mass-cultural forms
