it's also just aswell i'm only literally a couple of stories away from having read all of lovecraft's fiction (just about half of the dreamquest of unknown kadath, dreams in the with house, and in the walls of eryx to go)


I've only read a handfull, but I really love his stuff I've read

Do you have any suggestions of an anthology with like ALL his stuff?



if you don't mind reading off a screen you can go to http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/ or http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/ the 3 anthologies i have contain pretty much all his works and are annotated if you like that sort of thing.
http://www.amazon.com/Cthulhu-Stories-P ... y_b_text_c
http://www.amazon.com/Thing-Doorstep-St ... _ep_dpt_12
http://www.amazon.com/Dreams-Witch-Hous ... t_ep_dpt_1

there's also these 3, which probably have the same content in a different order
http://www.amazon.com/Best-H-P-Lovecraf ... pd_sim_b_1
http://www.amazon.com/Dreams-Terror-Dea ... pd_sim_b_2
http://www.amazon.com/Road-Madness-H-P- ... pd_sim_b_4

that big hardback that godziiller posted looks good

Yeah, about that...

I own it, but I think that it might very well be out of print currently. You should still be able to find it, but I don't know. It's really not that old, but those Barnes and Noble collections sort of come and go.

Also, yeah it's only available through Barnes and Noble.

Or in this case, not quite too available. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/HP-Lov ... +lovecraft

If worse comes to worse, the first one I posted is very good and should be available anywhere.

Also, these are pretty good. http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com ... al+reading

But the ones Avatar posted are indeed the easiest to find. Probably the cheapest too. They just have weird covers.

true, and it is a nice book, but according to one of reviews this is supposed to be better
http://www.amazon.com/H-P-Lovecraft-Lib ... 1931082723

it has about the same amount of pages but only 22 to the othe one's 37, so it possibly has more of the longer works.

Same!!
Though it's a bit of nervous anticipation for me - I hadn't really intended to make any more analyses, but it would seem you, Bleeding Cool and Jacen Burrows are expecting moar...

But now i just want them to give us #2 already!
