I figured this would be the place to ask.
What is the best collection of Lovecraft's stories?
I was looking at pic related but some of the reviews said that it only has the major stories and not all of them.
I'd prefer it to be in a single hardcover book, but I'm fine with a collection too.

Here it is. My shit. It's right here in my hand. I put it there, directly. Just squared down, tucked it under and went to town. Surprised my self, honestly, didn't think I had it in me to do it. But I did. Clearly, I did since it's here in my hand to show you.

I doubt there's any collection that includes everything he wrote
>When, long ago, the gods created Earth

That said I have pic related and I'm pretty sure all his stories are in it.

I was looking at that one on Barns and Nobel's sight but they only have the cover picture, how is the physical book itself?

>> No.17169068

Barnes and Noble , H.P. Lovecraft, the Complete Fiction. Then read the poems online or get that book too. Black with blue and purple cover.

just mute it

Feel free to ask me any specific questions. I'm very happy with it, no super thin pages, no tiny text. Well formatted and the text looks nice. It's a bit bulky but not too bad.

Its nice except the front cover bubble sticker wears.

I'm torn between the Knickerbocker one and the B&N book, but I can't find the B&N version on their site, so I assume it's no longer available, I'll see if I can't find it but I'm not too upset if I can't.

I found it and I think I'll get this version as I quite liked S.T. Joshi's intro on the Shadow Over Innsmouth standalone I have.

Well it really didn't answer my question, as I was looking for a complete collection, not an entry point, as I've already read a couple of his works.

While nearly all the "complete collections" will feature all his major stories, they won't feature all his collaborations or ghost written work. For those you'll have to get a couple more smaller books.

This video shows all the major books you'll need.

HOLY SHIT HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS NOT TO POST THIS. LOVECRAFT WONT TALK TO FUCKING POTATONIGGER LIKE YOURSELF. I WISH EVERY MICK FROM DUBLIN AND BOSTON WOULD STOP POSTING THIS LIE ON THE INTERNET NOW. YOU HEARD ME, STOP POSTING THIS NOW, NOW ,NOW NOW,. LOVECRAFT ISNT MCLOVECRAFT OR O,LOVECRAFT ITS LOVECRAFT AS IN A PROUD WASP NEW ENGLANDER NOT A STUPID SUBHUMAN MICK. I WISH EVERYONE IN IRELAND WOULD GET RAPE BY A PACK OF WILD NIGGERS, I WISH IRELAND WOULD GET NUKED, I WISH THAT GREEN PUSS STAIN OF A NATION WOULD BE WIPED OFF THE PLANET. A COLD HARSH RAIN IS NEEDED RIGHT NOW, RIGHT THIS SECOND. BECAUSE IF GOD OR SOME DEITY LIKE THE ONES IN H.P.'S STORIES ISNT HERE TOO SCARE THE SNAKES OFF.
