Beautifully produced edition, but -2 stars for horrible tacky price sticker on the back June 28, 2008

Finally a beautifully produced and complete edition of H.P. Lovecraft's works, but whoever at Gollancz/Orion decided to spoil each book with a tacky price sticker - not even put on straight - that leaves a sticky residue when removed (and believe me, it's tenacious) should be punished by the elder gods, or at least someone senior at the publishers.

The definitive Lovecraft collection April 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

It appears that I, unlike the other reviewers of this book, am a new edition to the legions of Lovecraft fans that I had until recently been completely unaware of. I have long since been a fan of horror film and have read my fair share of such obvious novelists as King, but never could have dreamt of something as elegant and terrifying in the nowadays all too neglected medium of the written word.
The tome itself bleeds horror; the black leather cover (which alone would suggest a much higher price) and occasional illustrations and even the feel of the pages spark the imagination, but it is undoubtedly Lovecraft's own artful imagery and originality that would be expected long after his time makes this a vital part of the collection of not just any horror fan, but any literary enthusiast.
However, as has been said before me, the sticker is the one blight of this book, and you must be prepared for a strenuous battle. The glue! THE GLUE!

Superb Anthology April 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I can't add much to the other reviews, except that I agree! This 900-odd page volume contains all of Lovecraft's best stories. It is a black leather-effect hardcover and looks superb on my bookshelf and bedside table. My one small gripe is that the stories are in alphabetical order, so the few stories that are in a series (i.e. the Silver Key stories) are not in order in the anthology. I, personally, would have preferred the stories in the order in which they were written, but it's a small niggle.

It's worth the 12 price tag just for the cover, so even if you already own a HPL book or two this one is worth getting to have all his stories in one place.

This book is a Relic. This is THE one. April 12, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Wow. Wasn't expecting that much. This 900 pages book look so huge and is fantastic with the black leatherbound cover. When first opening it you got a Arkham map illustrated on the inside of the cover. All the great stories of H.P. Lovecraft are in there, even some poems. They all have the original published date and infos on them too. It's like a Lovecraft Encyclopedia! There are just enough illustrations and at the end you got a LONG biography of Lovecraft beautifully written. For this price it's a steal. I must stop writing now, Cthulhu calls me! GET IT!

(For the glue on the back sticker it's pretty easy to remove. First get the sticker off and then stick it again where there is glue remaining. Do that several times and all the glue will be removed)
