Dear August

Dear August: Letters, Robert E. Howard to August Derleth 1932-1936. This collection includes all the letters to August Derleth, except for a postcard REH sent to August Derleth.

In 2002, the then-owners of the rights to Robert E. Howard’s works decided to publish a series of three books in order to extend the U.S. copyrights of the unpublished material. Otherwise all this unpublished material would have been public domain in the U.S. after 12/31/2006.

Robert E. Howard Foundation Holiday Special

Robert E. Howard Foundation Holiday Special 2009.

It contains the first publication of an incomplete and untitled REH story that was tentatively titled “Six Gun Interview” by Glenn Lord. The story is estimated to be half to two-thirds complete based on other stories aimed at similar markets, and the remaining pages are missing. The story was likely written in 1931 and appears to be an attempt to adapt Sailor Steve Costigan’s stories to a western format. The tale appears to be a precursor to the Breckinridge Elkins series.

“Six-Gun Interview” is presented first as a facsimile copy of Howard’s typescript (p. 3), then as a clean, modern copy of the same fragment (p. 15). The Christmas cards on the front and back covers are commercial cards signed by Howard.

Sleep No More: Twenty Masterpieces of Horror for the Connoisseur

Sleep No More is an anthology of fantasy and horror stories edited by August Derleth and illustrated by Lee Brown Coye, the first of three similar books in the 1940s. It was first published by Rinehart & Company in 1944. Featuring short stories by H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith and other noted authors of the macabre genre, many of the stories made their initial appearance in Weird Tales magazine. The anthology is considered to be a classic of the genre, and is the initial foray by Coye into the field of horror illustration.
