This is a good, representative collection of the works of HP Lovecraft. Note that this is not a complete collection, and (for you Cthulhu aficionados) it's not a collection of his works on the Cthulhu mythos. Rather, it is a selection of his works representing the various "phases" of his writing. The introduction to the book, as well as the short introductions to each chapter, provide fascinating insight into the author and the background behind some of the stories.

This is a great introduction to HP Lovecraft for new readers -- and overall just brilliant, classic, gothic horror. Read it alone, at night, for the best experience!
