Years ago I spent an afternoon with Ackerman and I questioned him about the feud between him and Lovecraft. Ackerman said that it was because he (Ackerman) at the time didn’t think Supernatural horror stories belonged in magazines that were devoted to Science-Fiction. Ackerman said that these stories had their own magazines such as Weird Tales.
