The eighteenth number of The Lovecraft Annual contains its usual array of cutting-edge scholarship on H. P. Lovecraft. Holly Eva Allen addresses sexual issues in “The Thing on the Doorstep”; Isaac Aday analyzes “The Colour out of Space” from the perspective of sociologist Max Weber; Edward Guimont studies “The Call of Cthulhu” through a colonialist lens; James Goho examines the narrative methods of “The Mound.” Ken Faig, Jr., Horace A. Smith, and David Haden probe the obscurer corners of Lovecraft biography, while Duncan Norris probes the use of small details in fostering realism in Lovecraft’s tales. Norris and Harley Carnell trace Lovecraft’s influence on later work, including Robert Bloch’s Psycho. Substantial reviews by Steven J. Mariconda and Dylan Henderson round out the issue.
