We are celebrating the publication of In the Mountains of Madness: The Life, Death, and Extraordinary Afterlife of H.P. Lovecraft, W. Scott Poole’s new book about the iconic weird horror author.

Scott is the author of Vampira: Dark Goddess of Horror and Monsters in America, which received the John G. Cawelti prize and was listed among the AAUP’s “Best of the Best” in 2011.
