In this volume we find an augmented edition of Faig's delightful Tales of the Lovecraft Collectors (1995), in which industrious scholars have unearthed surprising facts about Lovecraft's life and work-such as the romance he had with a young Italian girl from Federal Hill. Other stories in the volume continue to draw upon Lovecraft's legacy: "Life and Death," an ingenious hoax purporting to be a lost story by Lovecraft-a hoax that took in many of the leading authorities of the day; "Innsmouth 1984," a revisiting of the setting of Lovecraft's baleful tale of regional horror, "The Shadow over Innsmouth"; and "Gothic Studies," in which fact and fiction are inextricably linked in a tale of a lost Gothic novel.

All in all, Lovecraft's Pillow demonstrates both the cleverness and the effectiveness of Kenneth W. Faig, Jr., in the realm of Lovecraftian and weird fiction.
