The Dark Brotherhood and Other Pieces is a collection of literary works by H. P. Lovecraft and others. The volume is particularly notable for the controversy caused by the inclusion of Jack L. Chalker's Lovecraft bibliography, with George T. Wetzel making accusations of plagiarism which seemed to have some foundation.
Publication History[]
First released in 1966 in hardback format by Arkham House, The Dark Brotherhood and Other Pieces was edited by Lovecraft's friend and contemporary August Derleth, with a dust jacket illustration by noted Mythos artist Frank Utpatel.
