Complete Collection Of H. P. Lovecraft by: H. P. Lovecraft
Fiction: Fantasy, short story, E-book
I read this knowing that Lovecraft was super racist and freaked out by everything. So his insults of all the people of the world (besides the British and Germans) was expected. His deep fear of people speaking Dutch was surprising. His horror at other everyday things is sometimes written in a way where one can see how his core myths are still used today. While the other stories that were more predictable and/or filled with racism show why most people don't read his source material.
Also I wish this book was arranged by when it was written, and not mostly in alphabetical order, with the few moved to connect with the related stories, just so it was easier to see the evolution of his myths.
And for friends also following me on Goodreads, I did get this book done before midnight on Dec 31st, and it did think it had 0 pages, even though it notes it has 150 e-books in the one book. (although it is really that many short stories.)
