And that's why they're dirt cheap.
True. That's why I didn't run back to B&N to complain. You get what you pay for. :D
I'm driving to the next town over to get this on Saturday. They're holding it for me. Rah!
There is a pretty cool-looking comic being released very soon, based on Lovecraft himself and his fiction:

Lovecraft and dear Cthulu :wub:
::nods approvingly:: yep, I have so very little knowledge on this subject
I could learn a lot from a thread such as this....I believe I will go read it then!:wtf:
:o You've never read Lovecraft, Linda? You must.
OK, read the thread, now I will go get this book, and read it too.
I admit I have not read all HP Lovecraft's works, so it will now
be a cinch to do so, then I may even feel somewhat qualified to
join in any discussion that may ensue here....:P
Lovecraft is an absolute must read, Linda. :D
I believe that many years ago, I began his stories, and let them fall away.
I couldn't tell you why at this point, I think I have read one or two, I now
will buy the book in question in that thread and try again.I do not even have a book
in the works right now (shockingly disappointing I know) my life is in need of a good book!
I am reading a couple Lovecraft anthologies now...not exclusively Lovecraft, but many of his contemporaries and those who've since decided to take on the Cthulu Mythos..
I have that massive book, but have yet to start it. :panic:
You must, you must, you must. :dance: I have seperate volumes which are far less daunting and intimidating.
I'll probably read it simultaneously with other books. That way I can do it a bit at a time. :D
That's usually how I do short story collections/anthologies too.
PLEASE EVERYBODY READ LOVECRAFT!!!!!!!!!! He is one of the finest, subtlest, most accomplished, and at the same time most powerful and imaginative authors that have ever written!
I am searching my library, and cant find any, perhaps I had borrowed what I quite remember reading before! I simply must read some , now where to find some now?:wtf:
I don't recall that I have ever actually read anything by Lovecraft. I would not know where to start.
I've only read one of his stories, it was along time ago and was something to do with people worshipping some weird god type thing in a city...reminded me of Lud when I read DT for the first time.
I'll have to watch the trailer after Mr. Woofer wakes.
I second Brice's declaration that good old HPL is a must-read.
I got my book last weekend and found a complete EAP to boot. The EAP has the coolest fucking cover. Join me in drooling over this:

The back is completely covered in the rivulets of blood, with a raven in the bottom right corner.

I read at least a couple of stories that now as I look at them seem absolutely Lovecraftian, but I don't remember the authors. Who could they be?
