Re: And your first Lovecraft tale was ....?

As I recall, he chose more for those he thought best represented different phases of his work, at least in one case. But, as he had a rather low opinion of so much of his work (despite the immense effort he put into them, as one can see from his manuscripts, as well as his letters)... he was seldom satisfied with anything he'd done for very long... "The Colour out of Space" and "Erich Zann" being among the few exceptions... and even the latter of these two he liked "more for what it hasn't got than what it has".
