The Dark Brotherhood and Other Pieces


The Dark Brotherhood and Other Pieces is a collection of stories, poems and essays by American author H. P. Lovecraft and others, edited by August Derleth. It was released in 1966 by Arkham House in an edition of 3,460 copies. The dustjacket is by Frank Utpatel.
Some controversy was raised by the publication of the Chalker bibliography, as George T. Wetzel claimed with some plausibility that Chalker had pirated Wetzel's own bibliography of 1955.
