H.P.L.
An Editorial

He was H. P. L. to his friends -- H. P. Lovecraft to his legions of readers and admirers. H. P. Lovecraft was born August 20, 1890 is Providence, Rhode Island where he lived most of his life - -he passed away on the morning of March fifteenth.
H. P. Lovecraft was one of the world's greatest writers of fantasy. His tales held a deep moving quality of reality and interest not found in the works of many of his contemporaries.
The quality of his works has been everywhere acclaimed. Altho most of HPL's work was in the realm of fantasy several of his stories stand out as classics in the field of science fiction as well. Outstanding examples were "The Colour Out of Space" (Amazing Stories, September 1927) and "The Shadow out of Time" (Astounding Stories, June 1936). "The Colour Out of Space" won mention in the annual O'Brien short story Awards.
Fantasy and science fiction have lost a friend and a great author.
H. P. L. -- [[underline]]Ave atque vale[[end underline]]!
