What is the definitive Lovecraft collection? This or the Necronomicon?

[Anonymous No.5865862]

if the definitive collection has everything he's written, then what more do you want? his shopping lists? the porn he wrote when he was 19 and then crumpled up and threw away, only to be recovered by one of his stalkers?

I have it and read it. It has his most known stuff. The fucker wrote so much though that you have to look around. He wrote poetry, he wrote letters, he wrote essays. He also ghostwrote (though it does include his story written for Houdini.)

[Anonymous No.5866256]

Necronomicon has a "sequel" compilation volume called Eldritch Tales, together they have all the stories he wrote.

I like the Library of America collection. Includes Mountains of Madness which a lot don't as they leave it as a stand alone.

[Anonymous No.5866323]

I like Leslie S Klinger's new annotated Lovecraft collection. I actually got to see he and Neil Gaiman speak about H.P. Lovecraft about a month ago. They were both great.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I don’t give a fuck who you are or where you live,
You can count on me to be there to bring your fucking life to a hellish end. I’ll put you in so much fucking pain that it’ll make jesus being nailed to a cross in the desert look like a fucking back massage on a tropical island. I don’t give a fuck how tough you are, how well you can fight, or how many fucking guns you own to protect yourself. I’ll fucking show up at your house when you aren’t at home. I’ll turn all the lights on in your house, leave all the water running, open your fridge door and not close it, and turn your gas stove burners on and let them waste gas. You’re going to start stressing the fuck out, your blood pressure will triple, and you’ll have a fucking heart attack. You’ll go to the hospital for heart operation, and the last thing you’ll see when you’re being put under in the operating room is me hovering above you, dressed up like a doctor. When you wake up after the operation, you’ll be scared for your fucking life, wondering what I did to you while you were being operated on, wondering what ticking time bomb is in your chest waiting to go off. You’ll recover fully from your heart surgery. And when you walk out the front door of the hospital to go home, I’ll run you over with my fucking car out of nowhere and kill you. I just want you to know how easily I could fucking destroy your pathetic excuse of a life, but how I’d rather go to a great fucking length to make sure your last remaining days are spent in a living, breathing fucking hell. It’s too fucking late to save yourself, but don’t bother committing suicide either… I’ll fucking resuscitate you and kill you again myself you birchfaced faggot. Welcome to hell, population: you.

I'm confused. How does reading Lovecraft = fedora tipping. Most people reference Cthulhu without having ever read an original work of Lovecraft's. That's slightly fedoraish imo, but it's still not a big deal.

/lit/, like most serious literary discussion forums, requires you to hate anything that a mental model of any sort of people you don't like has heard of or, God forbid, might like.

[Anonymous No.5867249]

I find the Necronomicon much more attractive, I'd but that and Eldritch Tales over the B&N collection any day.
