@MrWilum That sounds amazing! I only just got into weird fiction in the last year or so, and I've been trying to find weird fiction writers. Great videos by the way

He wrote weird fiction on the side, he wrote other things as well, while it was very much Lovecraft's field. Heck, Lovecraft WAS the field of weird fiction!

Most intresting.

Out of interest, what's your thoughts on Clark Ashton Smith?

@spuddmc34 Smith is great and has had a huge influence on my own weird fiction. I have some few vlogs concerning him on my channel. One of the books I am now co-writing will be an entire collection with every story inspired by CAS.

I still think Derleth completely missed what Lovecraft's writing was all about...Dualism? Ummm...sure. Just my two cents.

@BobChaos23 There is still much work going on regarding Derleth's understanding of Lovecraft and Derleth's creation of the Cthulhu Mythos, some really great work by a fellow named John D. Haefely. His slim book, AUGUST DERLETH REDUX: THE WEIRD TALE 1930-1971, is fascinating, and I am anxious for his forthcoming A LOOK BEHIND THE DERLETH MYTHOS. Strangely, I am just now near completion of a new Mythos tale that is a semi-sequel to Derleth's "The Dweller in Darkness."

@MrWilum That should be John D. Haefele.

When I say that Derleth wasn't "serious" when writing his weird fiction, I mean that he wasn't trying to be a serious Artist, as was Lovecraft. Derleth wrote weird fiction out of a love of the genre, certainly; but he wrote the majority of those stories, I think it is safe to say, mainly to make money. He was the utter professional, in every way, as opposed to HPL or myself, who strive to be Literary Artists yet lack professional discipline.
