Ah! I'd been a bit out of the loop lately, and wasn't even aware of this one. Thank you for the information! In such a case... by all means, check out these stories when you have a chance, Connavar (or anyone else interested in diving into serious HPL reading). Though some of the revision tales are clumsy, some are mediocre, and some (like "Ashes") are simply
bad, there are a number well worth checking out, such as "The Mound", "Out of the Eons", "The Horror in the Burying-Ground" (for sheer grue, this one certainly fits the bill), and especially "The Night Ocean", as well as others. Here's the list from the revised edition (the Del Rey apparently, as Ningauble noted, follows the Arkham texts):
