Note: An H.P. Lovecraft fanzine. Included early essays by Fritz Leiber about Lovecraft's fiction. The Futurian War Digest described it in 1943 as: "It is devoted to H.P. Lovecraft and features fantasy and the supernatural, including fiction and poetry besides authoritative articles. And as the editor has access to many unpublished essays etc by Lovecraft, and a number of works of Clark Ashton Smith, there are undoubtedly many treats in store." Print runs between 120 and 200 copies.
(Homeville) "Probably the premiere fanzine of the early 1940's. The first two issues were hectographed, the remainder were mimeographed. In spite of the poor format, the content is impressive enough to justify indexing."
