Twenty Years of Hippocampus Press: 2000-2020

Over the past two decades Hippocampus Press has emerged as the leading publisher of works relating to H. P. Lovecraft. It has in fact published the entirety of Lovecrafts work in definitive editions-fiction poetry essays and letters. In addition it has published numerous volumes of criticism and biography from S. T. Joshis I Am Providence to the scholarship of Kenneth W. Faig Jr. Donald R. Burleson Steven J. Mariconda and many others and many scintillating volumes of modern Lovecraftian fiction. But there is far more to Hippocampus Press than this. It has also published the collected poetry of Clark Ashton Smith along with several volumes of Smiths letters. Its Classics of Gothic Horror series has brought back into print many leading authors of weird fiction from a century or more ago. Poetry both old and new has been a special focus of the press including classic poets (George Sterling Donald Wandrei Leah Bodine Drake) and such leading contemporary poets as Ann K. Schwader Adam Bolivar K. A. Opperman and Ashley Dioses. Hippocampus has issued several important journals in the field from the Lovecraft Annual to Dead Reckonings to Spectral Realms to the newly established Penumbra. This volume chronicles in meticulous detail all the publications of Hippocampus Press since its founding in 2000. Complete lists of contents are provided and notes on the compilation of the books are provided by the publisher and in-house editor. All in all this compilation is a complete guide to a pioneering small press in the weird fiction field.
