I agree, but they didn't have the version that supposedly fixes many of the grammatical errors of the first edition.

Are the Black Wings of Cthulhu anthologies worth getting?

That's not The Tunnel, so, no, you did not do good.

You always do good, OP. We're proud of you.

Lovecraft's pr neat. Kinda outdated, hit and miss and especially racist for his time period but his shit can be damn interesting when it wants to be. Try out At The Mountains of Madness, Shadow Over Innsmouth, Shadow Out of Time, The Music of Erin Zann, Color Out of Space, The Outsider, The Rats in the Walls, Call of Cthulu, The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward, Dreams in the Witch House, The Whisperer in the Darkness, Pickman’s Model, The Mound, Cat of Ulther, The Thing on the Doorstep, The Nameless City,
Dulwich Horror, The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, Cool Air, Herbert West - Reanimator, The Picture In the House, Dream Cycle, The White Ship, The Walls of Sleep, The Doom That Came to Sarnath

Shadow Over Innsmouth and Color Out of Space are my favorite stories by him. I adore him describing a never before seen color

I'll read the whole stories but I really don't care if we was racist or not, we're talking about the 19th/20th century here.
