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 And as the editor has access to many unpublished essays etc by Lovecraft, and a number of works of Clark Ashton Smith, there are undoubtedly many treats in store."
