- ... called “the lost generation.” Sent to her by Sherwood Anderson, she found him a good listener and a teachable student. Under her critical eye, she helped him realize that his poems were good, and his short stories were acceptable, but his novel had much to be desired. “Too much description,” she said, “and it’s all bad. Good description doesn’t herald itself, it weaves a background. Start all over again and ...

- 1624: How is Tension built up in “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Red Room”?

His writing career began when August Derleth bought a long Lovecraftian letter of Foster's in 1968 and published it, much to Foster's surprise, as a short story in Derleth's bi-annual magazine The Arkham Collector. Sales of short fiction to other magazines followed. His first attempt at a novel, The Tar-Aiym Krang, was bought by Betty Ballantine and published by Ballantine Books in 1972.
