View source for The Outsider and Others

The Outsider and Others is a collection of stories by author [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. It was released in 1939 and was the first book published by [[Arkham House]]. It went out of print early in 1944 and has never been reprinted.

The volume takes its name from the Lovecraft short story "[[The Outsider]]"; The Outsider and Other Stories was Lovecraft's preferred title for a short story collection considered, but never issued, by [[Farnsworth Wright]]. The stories for this volume were selected by [[August Derleth]] and [[Donald Wandrei]]. The dust jacket art was a montage of drawings by [[Virgil Finlay]] for [[Weird Tales]] magazine, of which only one or two had originally illustrated Lovecraft stories.
