In addition to volumes of Lovecraft 's fiction, Arkham House published collections of his letters to peers, friends and family. Among his correspondents were Arkham House founders, Derleth and Wandrei. Arkham House also published fiction from several of Lovecraft's contemporaries, including Frank Belknap Long , Clark Ashton Smith , Robert Bloch , and Derleth himself; classic genre fiction by authors such as William Hope Hodgson , Algernon Blackwood , H. Russell Wakefield , and J. Sheridan Le Fanu ; and later writers in the Lovecraft school, such as Ray Bradbury , Ramsey Campbell and Brian Lumley . Despite the wealth of talented writers who appeared under the Arkham House imprint, it was not a financial success. Derleth wrote in 1970, " {Link without Title} he fact is that in no single year since its founding have the earnings of Arkham House met the expenses, so that it has been necessary for my personal earnings to shore up Arkham House finances." After Derleth's death, his successors expanded the company's range of authors to include such prominent science fiction and fantasy writers as Michael Bishop , Lucius Shepard , Bruce Sterling , James Tiptree Jr. , Michael Shea and J. G. Ballard , often publishing hardcover collections of shorter works. EXTERNAL LINKS
