Summary

This slip-cased box set is a collection of H. P. Lovecraft's entire output―in six volumes. This collection includes everything from his early macabre stories to his tales of the dreamlands, and of course, his famous Cthulhu novellas. First written for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and '30s, Lovecraft's writing still resonates today and will leave readers both terrified and astounded by the breadth of his imagination.

Comments / Trivia

Any factual trivia or comments go here.

• Other formats seem to include an out-of-print paperback edition, an ebook version, individual hardback books, etc.
• The introduction appears to have simply been copied from H.P. Lovecraft Short Stories from Arcturus Publishing, 9781788285407
• The collection appears to omit "The Beast in the Cave (fiction)", "The Alchemist (fiction)", and perhaps other Lovecraft stories ("He (fiction)"?).
