H.P. Lovecraft Complete Anthology?
Is there such a thing as a 100% complete H.P.L. anthology in print today, preferably hardcover? Perhaps even including his letters and essays.
I'm looking for such a thing to buy as a graduation present for myself in another month and a half.

There's "The Ancient Track", which is the complete poetical works of the man, but it's already huge. S.T. Joshi's trilogy of annotated Lovecraftian prose is pretty complete, but it's still missing a few pieces. The three S.T. Joshi "... And Other Weird Stories" books and "The Ancient Track" should provide you with enough stuff to read until you can track down the rest of his work elsewhere.

Sadly, even with these five books some of his earlier works are missing, and for the life of me I cannot find them (i.e. "The Haunted House").

Thanks for that list, very useful! Of course I've read most of the stories, and own SOME of them but it'd be nice to get them all in print since I have much more Chaosium fiction than I do genuine Lovecraft stuff!jp wrote:As far as his fiction goes, I've broken it down to 5 books which you would need to have an almost complete collection with very few stories appearing multiple times.

I already own two anthologies. The Del Ray one (my original) and the Arkham House one (including "The Horror in The Museum" book, though it's bad). I want to get the S.T. Joshi annotated texts though.

what are the annotations in joshi's version about?... do they relate one story to another or do they pick out certain themes and possible influences?.... is it written in an academic style or in a fan's style?... are they critical or informative?... I have the 3 "omnibus" voyager books and for a long time assumed they were complete. It was only when I went looking for nyarlathotep that I realised they wern't...

I guess this is the place to ask this.
I'm trying to get a pretty complete collection, i've gotten nearly all of his own short stories.
I'm gonna order two books that will give me nearly all of his ghostwritings and collaborations.
I'm gonna order The Ancient Track sometime.
I'm thinking about getting his 4 or 5 essay collections, but is it worth the money to get those?
