The Fiction: Complete and Unabridged | 
Vacation ending sucks but coming home to this gem made it a lot easier. This is from Easton Press the complete fiction of H P Lovecraft leather bound, gilded pages, 22 karat gold inlay. This is an incredible edition and stands as the crown jewel of my Lovecraft collection. #lovecraft #eastonpress #booknerd

Happy Birthday to Howard Phillips Lovecraft 8-20-1890 to 3-15-1937. Your works changed my life and play a huge part in my life with my kids #Lovecraft #cthulhu #birthday

Is there anything better than a Barnes & Noble leatherbound edition?
Finally cracking this beauty open! Excited to see what this book holds! This is my first time reading Lovecraft (I know, shame on me) but I am now!
Yes, Lovecraft wrote the odd parodic comedy piece as well. Complete with moustache twirling villain. 😆
"And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare. Never before had the screams of nightmare been such a public problem; now the wise men almost wished they could forbid sleep in the small hours, that the shrieks of cities might less horribly disturb the pale, pitying moon as it glimmered on green waters gliding under bridges, and old steeples crumbling against a sickly sky."
-Nyarlathotep
"There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we listen and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are dulled and prosaic with the poison of life."
