Dear Bob Price,

A thousand thanks for that really splendid article by Marc Cerasini and Charles Hoffman ["The Transition of Colin Wilson," Vol. 1, No. 7]. It really made my day. I chuckled like mad at the last pages describing the basic difference between me and Lovecraft! Please congratulate them and say it is one of the most perceptive articles on me I have ever read.

Warm regards,

Colin Wilson

Dear Editor:

Congratulations on founding a publication devoted solely to the Mythos! Lovecraft fans and lovers of horror in general have needed something like this for years. I have read and re-read the issues I have and enjoy them immensely. I was especially fascinated by your excellent article in Vol. 1, No. 1, "Lovecraft's Concept of Blasphemy", which, I felt, was superbly prepared and presented.

Also, I enjoyed Vol. 1, No. 6, and its preoccupation with Derleth. I have always enjoyed his pastiches --- though many do not --- and found the issue to be quite fair in its contents and criticisms.

I see that you will be introducing a new Mythos story by Lin Carter. Bravo! Your publication is the perfect frame for the yet-to-come Mythos stories. For those of us that cannot get enough of these tales, the future prospects are very exciting.

Dear Mr. Price,

I have for several months been meaning to write and thank you for the issues of your fascinating publication Crypt of Cthulhu. You have given me hour upon hour of enjoyable reading.

The content and quality of Crypt places your publication in the heart of my HPL collection. Indeed, I may have your issues hardbound. HPL would certainly have been proud to be published in your journal! Ah! Need I say more?
