The Hellboy movie and comics got me into Lovecraft. I've got the "Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre" collection, with fantastic cover art by Michael Whelan. I understand there's a few of his stories involving a character named Randolph Carter, and one fantasy tale called "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath."
Is there any book out that collects all the Carter stories along with Dream Quest?
Take a look at the first post of this thread. The book in question collects everything by Lovecraft.
I read 'The Moon Bog' by him quite a while ago and really enjoyed it. When the Necronomicon (sp?) came into Waterstones during Christmas, it was really only a matter of time until I got it...I finally gave into temptation a couple of days ago. I can't wait to have time to actually read it!
Robert Frost: The Road Less Travelled
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.
Honestly the Simon-necronomicon was a big overhyped disappointment for me
I like the Tyson-Necronomicon alot more
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
Really? Oh, damn. Ah well...it's more Lovecraft than I had before, and that can only be a good thing =D .

Do they release their movies to video/dvd?Originally Posted by turtlex
I don't watch tv normally, but I suspect there's no way you'd get that channel here anyhow.
Actually, Brice, yes - they do release a lot of their films on DVD. I get mine from amazon when they come out.Do they release their movies to video/dvd?

Comcast in my area carries here!, not sure about other places.

Awesome! Thank you!I will have to pick that up sometime soon. I love all things lovecraft.
I've heard of Comcast so maybe we have it here, but as I said I really don't watch tv. If you added up all the time I've watched tv this year it might possibly equal about two hours.
Just a reminder, everyone. If you order it from Amazon, use the link at the bottom of this page--TDT.com gets some money!

Does anybody know If there is a nicely set-out definitive collection of all his works? Never seen one except the one which is apparently full of mis-prints and spelling errors. Love this guy, very over-looked in the modern world which is a crying shame.
I think that's the only collection at the moment that has the majority of his works. I've heard that Penguin's put out some nice annotated editions though.

Thanks, will have to have a lookI think that's the only collection at the moment that has the majority of his works. I've heard that Penguin's put out some nice annotated editions though.
It looks like this book is out of print on BN. Ebay has them for $70. Any idea where I could get a copy at a reasonable price?
Definitely don't get it for $70--I got mine for $12! I heard a second printing is being released soon, so you might want to wait for that. There's also a possibility that a local BN store might have one.

Don't know if you all visit woot very much. It's one of my favorite sites and I check it daily for their sales and t-shirt. The best part though - is their write up on the item.
Now - woot shirts DO sell out frequently, so order early. They're $10 and that includes shipping.
This is todays description of the shirt :
Hey, August! Yeah, IAO IAO to you too, buddy! Listen, I just wanted to remind you about the cookout today. Right, I was setting out the potato salad and I figured maybe you forgot so… oh, there’s a pasta buffet at the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s place? No, no, I understand. You gotta network, right? It’s hard in the publishing world these days. Listen, it’s cool. We’ll get together next week or something. No, no problem at all, I’ll save you a burger. Right on. Talk to you soon.
James! Jimmy! It’s Tulu! Yeah, I just wanted to tell you, we had a few cancellations, so if you’re bringing any soda… oh. The pasta buffet. Yeah, I heard. No, no, I had that cookout thing today, I hadn’t heard about… yeah, it’s okay you forgot. We’re old buddies, right? We don’t have to see each other all the time! Listen, you have fun. No, I’m not jealous at all. He’s brand new, of course he gets all the attention. Look, I’ll just get someone else to get the soda. Hey, you too. Okay. Bye, James.
H.P.! My man, my man! Sounds like you’re in the car! I knew you’d be coming, you’re like my very best…. where? Aha. Ahaha. You’re a kidder! Of course we’re talking about my cookout! But I’m gonna need you to stop and pick up a two liter of… oh. The pasta buffet. No, no, I wasn’t actually invited. Yeah, all the nerds are there, I bet. They used to be here. But now they’re there. Well, I guess… I guess have fun, I guess. Maybe I’ll just wrap up all this meat and freeze it. No, no, you don’t have to come by later. No, don’t, I mean it. I probably will just go to sleep early anyway. No, it’s not depression, I’m just… just overworked. Yeah, I’m just gonna hang around ph’nglui mglw’nafh tonight, maybe listen to A Prairie Home Companion. But, you know, say hi to everyone there. It should be a real event. Okay, H.P. Okay. Bye. Yeah, soon, right. Soon.
Wear this shirt: when you don’t want to be described. For example, it’d be great in a police lineup. According to the Supreme Court, turning away screaming in terror is not a positive identification. Not even in Texas.
Don’t wear this shirt: when you don’t want to take any calls.
This shirt tells the world: “I’m really not that good when you first wake me up, I apologize in advance.”

If anybody's interested, Hippocampus Press (http://www.hippocampuspress.com/), a small press that publishes great limiteds of Lovecraft's essays and letters and such, is coming out with a limited edition (1,000 copies) of ST Joshi's biography of HPL, a massive work in two volumes. I have their five-volume Collected Essays of HPL and the two-volume collection of letters Essential Solitude; they make great quality books. Here's what their newsletter said about this upcoming book:
NEW AND IMPROVED LOVECRAFT BIOGRAPHY.
Yes, S. T. Joshi's revised and expanded HPL biography, I AM PROVIDENCE: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF H. P. LOVECRAFT is coming from Hippocampus, and we will initially make it available through an advance subscription. We envision this two volume set appearing in a limited hardcover edition of 1000 copies per volume. If any copies remain after the subscription period ends, they will be sold to the general public. Some sets will also be made available to our independent bookseller friends. We're not quite ready to start taking advance subscription orders, so please be patient.
It's available for pre-order now: http://www.hippocampuspress.com/love...rovidence.html

if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
Ia Ia Cthulhu Fthagn! The Lovecraft thread
Okay, it occurs to me that there isn't really a Lovecraft thread. Am I wrong? I can't find one. Anyhow I purposely didn't put this in the book or movie forums any as my hope is that it be for ALL things Lovecraftian. To start us off I present:
