My new scholarly book on H.P. Lovecraft has just been published, and I’m experimenting with giving a PDF away for free. Walking With Cthulhu: H.P. Lovecraft as psychogeographer, New York City 1924-26 is 55,000 words, 198 pages, illustrated.
In exchange for the ‘free’ bit, can you give the new book a web link on your blog, a mention to your Facebook friends, or just a quick tweet?
Download it free (PDF, 4Mb) — or buy a new paperback copy here. Update: Kindle user? It’s also on the USA Kindle Store and the U.K. Kindle Store.
