Front cover and one of the interior pages from a facsimile production of the HOME BREW magazine issues of Jan. Feb. Mar. and April of 1923. The story by H. P. Lovecraft appeared as a 4 part serial with illustrations by Clark Ashton Smith. The 1977 Special limited edition was produced by Marc A. Michaud of NECRONOMICON PRESS. The softcover 1977 compilation contained 42 pages. 550 numbered copies were originally produced. It was printed by Edward L. Shunney. HOME BREW was an amateur publication and Lovecraft's story, THE LURKING FEAR appeared there for the first time. The dozen illustrations of HPL's story were created by his friend, correspondent, and fellow writer, Clark Ashton Smith. Smith was a poet of note in his youth and considered himself fundamentally a poet despite the numerous short stories that appeared from him in pulp magazines. As a graphic artist Smith's limitations are only too obvious! Still, Lovecraft praised virtually everything Smith created. Certainly CAS - or "Klarkash-Ton, high priest of Atlantis", as HPL playfully called him, was perhaps the only writer of the 'pulp era' who's quality of work could really be compared with Lovecraft's. (Exhibit 244)

It’s not his best work, but I’ll always have a soft spot for Lovecraft’s The Lurking Fear. I first read it when I was about 12, in one of my dad’s old Panther Horror collections with the gorgeous cover art, on holiday in Germany one autumn. We were in this caravan, and I was sat outside under the plastic awning with my back to the door flap.
It was dark outside and in my memory the wind was howling, which may have been my brain adding dramatic details after the fact but I’d like to believe was real, and I was so scared that any moment one of those Martense ghouls would come bursting in from behind me and drag me out into the dark. But I kept reading anyway, because I was just so engrossed. Lovely spooky memory.

Title: The Lurking Fear (1923)
Author: H.P.Lovecraft
Vote: 7/10
Lovecraft had a fixation on the degeneration of the human being not only as an individual but also as a social being. The physical degradation of a family goes hand in hand with moral and social degradation. A regression that leads to the loss of any resemblance to a normal and ordinary person and the approaching a state of wildness of the individual who becomes an animal. In many stories there is also the idea of the subsoil as a cave in which secrets and horrors are hidden, both of the family and of society and of the individual.
