Further Information

 

August Derleth: a Deliberate Life is intended as an informed homage to one of my favourite American authors, and one whose best work has been, until very recently at least, largely neglected. All opinions are my own. Quotes in italics are from Derleth's own works. No breaking of copyrights, offence to copyright holders, etc., is intended. (My August Derleth Pages have no connection with the August Derleth Society, of which I have been a member since 1980, and can recommend. The ADS website can be accessed through my Links page.)
