Though I wouldn't recommend it as an intro to HPL (due to the inclusion of lesser stories, such as “The Shunned House” and “The Horror at Red Hook”), as a longtime Lovecraft fan I found it to be a real treat. Joshua and Cannon's notes help bring out the use of historical and literary allusions as well as the intertextuality of Lovecraft's tales. Includes such gems as “The Picture in the House,” “Pickman's Model,” and “The Call of Cthulhu.”
