"The White Ship" is a song released by the American psychedelic rock band, H. P. Lovecraft, in November 1967.
 The songwriting is credited to band members George Edwards, Dave Michaels, and Tony Cavallari.
 Acting as the opening song on the second side of their debut LP, "H. P. Lovecraft", it was the album's longest track, and an edited version was also released as the band's second single.
 The name and theme of the song derive directly from author H. P. Lovecraft's short story, "The White Ship".
 Despite its failure to chart nationally, it is widely considered to be H. P. Lovecraft's most accomplished piece, and helped establish the group, who were originally from Chicago, in the West Coast music scene.
Joseph Hone (February 25, 1937 – August 15, 2016) was an Irish writer of the spy novel.
 His most famous novels featured a British spy called Peter Marlow.
 The first of the series was "The Private Sector" (1971), set in the Six Day War.
 Marlow's story continues in "The Sixth Directorate" (1975), "The Flowers of the Forest" (a.k.a. "The Oxford Gambit") (1980), and "The Valley of the Fox" (1982).
 During his heyday, in the 1970s, Hone was favourably compared with writers such as Len Deighton, Eric Ambler and John le Carré.
 Whilst some spy novels, such as those of le Carré are often set mainly inside the offices of the spy department, and attract praise for the depth of their characterization and plotting, others (such as the James Bond series) are set in the field, and provide explosive action.
 Joseph Hone's stories by contrast, have a foot in both camps, and he has become renowned amongst aficionados of the spy genre for both the quality of his writing, and the excitement of his plots.
 He released his memoir, "Wicked Little Joe" in 2009.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft ( ; August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction.
 He was virtually unknown and published only in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre.
 Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life.
 Among his most celebrated tales are "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Shadow over Innsmouth", both canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos.
 Lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor.
 He saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself.
 He subsisted in progressively strained circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time that he died at age 46.
H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life (French: "H. P. Lovecraft : Contre le monde, contre la vie" ) is a work of literary criticism by French author Michel Houellebecq regarding the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

H. P. Lovecraft is the debut album by the American psychedelic rock band H. P. Lovecraft and was released in October 1967 by Philips Records.
 It blended psychedelic and folk rock influences and was marked by the haunting, eerie ambiance of the band's music, which itself was often inspired by the literary works of horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, after whom the band had named themselves.
 Although most of the album comprises interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk songs, it also features the self-penned compositions "That's How Much I Love You, Baby (More or Less)", "The Time Machine", and arguably the band's best known song, "The White Ship".
 The traditional song "Wayfaring Stranger" was released as a single just ahead of the album in September 1967 and "The White Ship" was issued shortly after the album appeared, although neither single reached the charts.
 Like its attendant singles, "H. P. Lovecraft" was also somewhat commercially unsuccessful and failed to reach the "Billboard" Top LPs chart or the UK Albums Chart, although it did sell reasonably well over time.
After graduating from Stanford and getting his masters in English Literature from Harvard, Stone (b. 1951) joined the Peace Corps, where he spent two years in the Republic of Niger.
 Returning to his home state of New York, he then started a career as an editor.
 He began at Harcourt Brace, where he edited a wide range of books, including Patricia Bosworth’s biography of Montgomery Clift.
 He then worked at Bantam Books, where he helped launch its hardcover division by acquiring such books as Albert Goldman’s biography of John Lennon and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s autobiography.
 Next, he worked as a senior editor at "Esquire Magazine", editing authors ranging from Alan Furst and Bobbie Ann Mason to Michael Kinsley and Joel Kotkin.
 He then moved to Los Angeles, where he was West Coast editor of Simon and Schuster, a consulting editor at the "Los Angeles Times", and editor in chief of "California Magazine".
Alan Furst (born February 20, 1941) is an American author of historical spy novels. Furst has been called "an heir to the tradition of Eric Ambler and Graham Greene," whom he cites along with Joseph Roth and Arthur Koestler as important influences.
 Most of his novels since 1988 have been set just prior to or during the Second World War and he is noted for his successful evocations of Eastern European peoples and places during the period from 1933 to 1944.
The Spies of Warsaw is a 2008 spy novel by Alan Furst about espionage involving the major nations shortly before World War II competing for influence and control over the future of Poland.
