Re: Rookie Questions about Lovecraft

I'm all set to go! Alas, I could only find the story online, in horrible white writing on a black background, so if I go blind, you know why! (I may have to do some copying and pasting, if only in order to save my poor eyes! )

Re: Rookie Questions about Lovecraft

Is it too late to join the reading group? I haven't read Lovecraft in over 20 years and I would love the opportunity to re-acquaint myself with him.


I don't own "The Dreams in the Witch House" so I'll be heading out to buy it
Question for the experts: Am I looking for a single book or a collection of stories such as the one TT is reading?

Re: Rookie Questions about Lovecraft

There's also this link, which would save your eyes, though it isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing, either....

Index of /hp-lovecraft

You should be able to link to the story from there....

So that one should be read from another edition, preferably the Penguin tpb or the Arkham House hb. ..................
I'm reading that book now but haven't hit The Colour Out of Space" yet. Can you identify what is missing? Can you tell from the page numbers? I remembered seeing this post a while back a wrote to Del Rey (couldn't find this post again at the time) and they did not seem to be aware of the problem.

Thanks

(PS - Thanks for the welcome from you and others on my first post the other day!)
