Sinopsis

H. P. LovecraftâÇÖs Fungi from Yuggoth is a remarkable achievement. Written in little more than a week (December 27, 1929-January 4, 1930), the cycle of 36 sonnets is a compact encapsulation of the essence of LovecraftâÇÖs imaginative vision. Its central motifs-the lure of hidden worlds, cosmic alienation, the terrors lurking behind the placid surface of life-are those that structured LovecraftâÇÖs greatest weird tales.David E. Schultz has spent decades preparing this annotated edition of the Fungi. He discusses the origin of the poem (including the influence of Donald WandreiâÇÖs similar cycle, Sonnets of the Midnight Hours), its connections with LovecraftâÇÖs fiction, LovecraftâÇÖs changing thoughts on natural expression in poetry, and the complex history of the poemâÇÖs publication-both as individual sonnets and as a unity. Schultz also provides penetrating annotations on every poem.This volume features the superlative artwork of longtime Lovecraftian artist Jason C. Eckhardt, who has produced a poignant cover perhaps more Lovecraftian than most seen of late, and illustrated each poem in a separate full-page edition. Readers are also treated to a reproduction of LovecraftâÇÖs handwritten manuscript of the Fungi, which shows how carefully he revised each sonnet in the course of composition, and Harold S. FarneseâÇÖs sheet music for two of the sonnets, most of it never published previously.áThis edition takes its place as a landmark contribution to Lovecraft studies-one that allows readers to appreciate LovecraftâÇÖs most famous poem as never before.David E. Schultz is the editor of an annotated edition of LovecraftâÇÖs Commonplace Book (1987) and coeditor, with S. T. Joshi, of numerous editions of LovecraftâÇÖs letters, including A Means to Freedom: The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard (2009) and Dawnward Spire, Lonely Hill: The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith (2017). SchultzâÇÖs revised and annotated edition of H. P. Lovecraft: Commonplace Book is forthcoming from Hippocampus Press.
