Haverhill native author and historian David Goudsward’s latest book, “Adventurous Liberation,” was recently released from Bold Venture Press.
“Adventurous Liberation” is a look at horror author H. P. Lovecraft’s visits to Florida and its influence in his writings.
Because Lovecraft’s visits revolve around his correspondents in amateur journalism, Goudsward makes note how this also refers back to his contact in Haverhill, Charles W. “Tryout Smith.” Suggested in such stories as “The Shadow out of Time,” these Florida and Haverhill visits combine as Haverhill protagonist Nathaniel Peaslee finds him cast back to a primordial world of swamps and reptiles.
“Adventurous Liberation” is available in paperback and hardcover from Amazon or from Bold Venture Press.
