Now you too can know him, love him, and live in eternal terror.

I just picked up yet another compilation of a few of Lovecrafts stories and I have to let you all know that it has to be the best one yet.Its called 'The call of Cthulhu and other weird stories' and it has been releasd by Penquin publishing.

Not only does it have all the realy cool stories such as 'Shadow over Insmouth' and 'Call of Cthulhu' but it also has a very detailed notes section in the back. Each story has a corresponding section detailing the reasons why the old gentleman wrote it, who it was submitted to etc. There are numbered notes for each story for reference, If he uses a real building there will be a short write up on the place, who worked there etc. Re-reading my favourites is now a learning experience.
