Many years ago I wrote an article on “Lovecraft and His Guns”, outlining H.P. Lovecraft’s personal gun collection, or at least what I knew about it then. I also discussed the guns used in his stories, in “Lovecraft’s Investigators and Their Guns”. The topic continued to percolate and I recently a wrote a much longer article for Lovecraftian Proceedings, the Official Organ of the Dr. Henry Armitage Memorial Symposium, together with Dr. “Nic” Jenzen-Jones of ARES and George Colclough, who had done parallel research. We realised this after I had submitted my first article to ARMAX – The Journal of Contemporary Arms.

Our joint effort called “Firearms in the Life and Works of H.P. Lovecraft” represents the latest and most detailed research on both the guns owned by Lovecraft himself and the guns and their use in his works.
