| Re: Complete collection?
Mogora -- Am I misreading that? I thought it said that this was the second volume of their "Masters of Horror", not a 2-volume edition; the first was devoted to Blackwood. Still, that price is going to put it far, far beyond my reach -- or the reach of most, I'm afraid. It's like that 3-volume set of The Compleat Jules de Grandin, by Seabury Quinn... those who would be interested are not likely to be able to afford it....
Ning: Yes, even the older Beagle edition of Ward (from 1971) has that. That would be parts 2 and 3 of Chapter 2: "An Antecedent and a Horror", which reads: "By the autumn of 1770 Weeden decided that the time was...", which properly belongs only to section 3. However, as I said, I have a strong sentimental attachment to these volumes, as they were (with the exception of the Arkham At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels, which I read during the same period) my introduction to HPL -- I also quite like the odd cover art ... and, I'll admit, I love the wonderful smell of those old paperbacks, which I've had for 35+ years now..... |
