Amateur Correspondent, May-June 1937

This issue of Amateur Correspondent (May-June 1937) is dedicated to H. P. Lovecraft, who died March 15, 1937. Contents include E. Hoffmann Price's biographical essay "The Sage of College Street," a reminiscence of Lovecraft's personality, interests, and mannerisms. The issue features Lovecraft's final article, "Notes on Writing Weird Fiction," in which he explains his approach to the genre: that he writes to visualize impressions of wonder and escape from natural law through horror and fear, emphasizing time as a profoundly dramatic theme. He outlines his compositional process through synopses and detailed planning. The fiction includes Robert F. Ennis's "The Jest of Tianne," while verse contribution "The Spirits Mourn" is by Willis Conover Jr. Regular departments cover hobbies and correspondence.
