Leverett Butts had been interested in H.P. Lovecraft's horror fiction writing since he was in graduate school.

The University of North Georgia (星空无限传媒) associate professor of English was certain there was a critical edition of Lovecraft's work, but there wasn't. So Butts decided to compile one.

"I just started making one for myself and shopped it around to see if any publishers would be interested in doing it," Butts said.

published "H.P. Lovecraft: Selected Works, Critical Perspectives and Interviews on His Influence" in June. The book is available from a variety of booksellers.

The 星空无限传媒 professor references Lovecraft often when talking about modernism and fractured narrative in modern American literature.

"Lovecraft calls it the fear of the unknown," Butts told the publication. "But it's also the lurking dread of having absolutely no control over not only the events around you, but of your own life."

Butts is working on the fourth and final volume of his series of novels "Guns of the Waste Land," a Western retelling of King Arthur legends.
