Like most Lovecraft collections, this contains the most well-known stories with lesser-known works mixed in. At 500+ pages, it's well worth the purchase. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain one of my favorite tales, "The Dunwich Horror." As an added benefit, the Appendix contains a short four-page essay written by (I believe) Lovecraft on how and why he wrote Fantasy and Science Fiction. If you're a new Lovecraft fan who's yet to purchase any collections of his stories, this is a definite purchase. However, if you've purchased other collections already, you'd best look to make sure you don't already own three-fourths of the stories within it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I'm done. Such pains me, but not to the degree of this prose. I had thought of an italicized voice-over about some hardscrabble researcher reporting from Tahrir Square about unearthing a noisome text from a "mad Arab" ... I was going to punctuate such with the researcher's support staff being gunned down in the backlash against the Muslim Brotherhood by the el-Sisi forces. Then I would twist the question: what do you find terrifying?
But I can't do it.
Between this tome and the Annotated Lovecraft I've read a dozen pieces now and hated nearly all of them. HPL was a racist, two-trick scribbler. When he ventured away from his Yoknapatawpha County snd its froggy fish people, he could prove interesting -- well, for a pulpster anway. I kept plowing away to no avail. Lovecraft crafted interesting stories about cannibals and madness but his mytho-poetics proved a Meh of the Black Shirt set. ( )
