This collection contains essays and stories that reveal another side of Lovecraft—not only a master of horror, but also the author of funny and cozy tales. They tell of those who decided to investigate the “Necronomicon” and regretted it, but there are also other stories—warm, humorous, and dedicated to Lovecraft’s fellow writers. These tales are filled with friendly warmth toward other authors, even though Lovecraft never met most of them personally.
