2.0 out of 5 stars Not my first choice for Lovecrtaft, 11 Feb 1998
By A Customer
While this is an attractive volume, well-printed andwell-bound, and does include a nice selection of Lovecraft's best, I would not recommend it. I really enjoyed Ms. Oates' notes in the front of the front of the book: interesting and well-written, so what's my problem? She provides synopses of the stories, giving away the plot and ending. What fun is it to read a novel, when you've been told the ending in advance?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good selection of H.P. Lovecraft's works., 23 April 1999
By A Customer
This is the first time I have ready anything H.P. Lovecraft has written. I enjoyed them and have bought other books of similar nature. Joyce C. Oats chose a good cross section of tales, and it would be good for those that are not familiar with Lovecraft's writtings. i would recommend this book to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent intro to Lovecraft literature, 14 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I found this collection a superb introduction to the works of H. P. Lovecraft, starting with some shorter tales and including such Lovecraft classics as "The Dunwich Horror" and "At the Mountains of Madness". The unitiated can obtain a taste of the unholy,foetid, dripping putrescence of Lovecraftian descriptions to determine if one's interest into further perusal of the Chthulu Mythos, the Great Old Ones, and the works found in the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred's "Necronomicon" is warranted.
