While we’ve all had access to H.P. Lovecraft’s short stories and letters from various printed and online sources, it’s not everyday you can read his work where it was originally published.\u00a0Most of Lovecraft’s work was published in a variety of amateur and pulp magazine titles starting in the early teens of the 1900’s, and while finding original copies of those magazines can prove to be quite difficult the wonders of the modern era have afforded us easy access to those publications in the form of scans.<\/p>\n

\"The-Shunned-House\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week we’re bringing you some\u00a0sources where you can read those scans (both stories and letters), and other relics of the pulp magazine era!<\/p>\n

The first comes the appropriately named “The Lovecraft eZine” and their collection of Lovecraft stories and letters<\/a>. I find the letters he writes to the editors of the magazine an especially fascinating look at Lovecraft as a person, not just a horror icon.<\/p>\n

The second is from pulpmags.org<\/a>. These scans are in full color and include the covers of the magazines themselves. They’re begging to be printed and rebound for an authentic reading experience.<\/p>\n

If you like old sci-fi and pulp magazines in general then check out\u00a0sffaudio.com<\/a>\u00a0and pulpmags.org<\/a>. They both have sizable collections that will occupy you for hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
