H.P. Lovecraft was the most prolific letter writer in U.S. history. Globally, he was second only to Voltaire in his output. Estimates indicate that he wrote some 90,000 letters during his lifetime.

Part anthology, part epistolary reader, each issue of Miskatonic Missives serves as an ideal companion guide for exploring one of H.P. Lovecraft's most fascinating letters. Every issue includes a reproduction of the full text of the letter in question, supported by a variety of relevant reference material, including contemporary and modern fiction, academic writing, poetry, and artwork. Each book is arranged chronologically, so that a reader can easily follow along with the text of a letter or, where applicable, peruse the issue in conjunction with an episode of Voluminous.

I urge everyone to secure this distinctive item.
