Howard Phillip Lovecraft died in 1937, known only in the pulp magazines, primarily Weird Tales. But his work lived on, promoted, at first, by assorted Weird Tales fans, along with the members of the Lovecraft Circle: Robert E. Howard; Clark Ashton Smith; Robert Bloch; Frank Belknap Long; Henry Kuttner; Fritz Leiber; and August Derleth, who founded Arkham House Publishers, in partnership with Donald Wandrei. Initially, Arkham's purpose was to preserve Lovecraft's work, beginning with The Outsider and Others, shortly after Lovecraft's death. It is fair to say that every single horror writer since Lovecraft has been influenced by his work, either directly, by reading him, or indirectly, by reading someone who read him..
