The Skull of Roger Williams: H. P. Lovecraft Imagined (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798346986263)

H. P. Lovecraft has become a cultural icon, and every aspect of his life and work has become of compelling interest to devotees around the world. Ken Faig Jr. has been a leading scholar on Lovecraft for more than fifty years. Now he has made use of that knowledge, as well as his sensitivity and creative imagination, to fashion a succession of tales and plays that highlight key elements of Lovecraft's life. Such incidents as Lovecraft's trip to ancestral areas in western Rhode Island as a boy, his relations with his aunts, Annie Gamwell and Lillian Clark, his involvement with amateur journalism, and others enliven this book. Weirdness enters in the title story, a tale of the curious adventures of the skull of Roger Williams-the seventeenth-century founder of Rhode Island-in the centuries after his death. Every story resonates with Faig's deep humanity and awareness of the complex network of human relationships that make us what we are.
