This month on Her Letters to August Derleth we look at his correspondent Christine Campbell Thomson, the British editor and literary agent behind the Not at Night series.

August Derleth gets quite a bit of criticisim for his Lovecraft "colaborations" and Lovecraftesque stories, but I really enjoyed this novel. Obviously not the same as a true Lovecraft story, but I really enjoyed it.

August Derleth's Solar Pons stories are among the very few Sherlock Holmes pastiches actually worth reading. Well-crafted and very entertaining and they feel Sherlockian. Derleth doesn’t make the mistake of trying for a tongue-in-cheek flavour.

#FinlayFriday meets #MerMay part 2

Virgil Finlay cover painting for Fantastic Universe, July, 1957, which I guess is kinda-sorta illustrating August Derleth's Cthulhu Mythos story which was later changed to "The Seal of R'lyeh." I don't remember any mirror-obsessed mermaids from that but part of it does take place in the sea!

The Shuttered Room (1967) is a Lovecraftian horror film and they're surprisingly rare. It might not be pure Lovecraftian horror but it at least manages a somewhat Lovecraftian feel, and it's thoroughly enjoyable, stylish and creepy.

Oliver Reed is one of the stars - always a plus. And he plays a wild rather crazed young man.
