The seventeenth issue of the Lovecraft Annual once again contains cutting-edge scholarship on Lovecraft’s life, work, and reputation. Ken Faig, Jr. writes in detail of Edith Miniter’s early parody “Falco Ossifracus” (1921), which is also reproduced in the issue. Dylan Henderson and Andrew Paul Wood study various aspects of sexuality in Lovecraft’s work, the latter focusing on the fertility god Shub-Niggurath. Francesco Borri exhaustively analyzes the ghostwritten story “Out of the Æons”; Edward Guimont traces Jules Verne’s influence on Lovecraft; James Goho probes the issue of sound and silence in Lovecraft’s work. The issue also contains Steven J. Mariconda’s provocative column “How to Read Lovecraft” and reviews of recent books by and about Lovecraft.
