>Tolkien is great although I think his son fucked up with the weird way he's releasing his dad's stuff.
Christopher passed away in 2019. I believe that the History of Middle Earth can be somewhat overwhelming for newcomers. However, between 2007 and 2018, Christopher released three comprehensive anthologies, making the stories of Turin, Tuor, and Beren more accessible. I think The Fall of Númenor, which was not edited by Christopher, marks the first step in a post-Christopher world towards compiling Tolkien's work thematically.
As long as the new editors don't tamper with the stories, I'm fine with it.
>Also you are missing the complete Solomon Kane.
I'm not very familiar with Howard's corpus, I think this is all I have written by him.
