Wisconsin’s “Weird” Writer: August Derleth and the Founding of Arkham House
Many readers know August Derleth for his poetry and for the extensive Sac Prairie Saga as a literary record of small-town life in Sauk City. But Derleth also had a darker side. This presentation will introduce you to his “weird” fiction and to his founding of Arkham House, which published the horror and science fiction stories of the infamous HP Lovecraft and Wisconsin author Robert Bloch.
Presented by John Pruitt, Professor, English and Women’s & Gender Studies
