I will.
The Hastur Cycle looks like it is the most distinguished of the bunch, and I've already read a few of these stories in other collections, namely the Chambers and Bierce stories. It seems like it contains the most "classics" by well known authors.
I purchased The Totem based off of the Morrell story -- Orange is for Anguish, Blue for Insanity -- I read in the Prime Evil anthology. The story fantastic, and reminded me in many ways of TED Klein's Dark Gods. It is somewhat Lovecraftian in its themes, but it is not a pastiche of HPL's prose.
Have you read that?
