Arkham House

Arkham House is a publishing company started in 1939 by August Derleth and Donald Wandrei. Originally began to preserve the works of H.P. Lovecraft, the press went on to publish works by authors such as Robert E. Howard, Ray Bradbury, Clark Ashton Smith, Frank Belknap Long, Robert Bloch, and Ramsey Campbell.
