review 1: I have to say that I really wanted to enjoy Lovecraft; and in some instances I did. However, I was ultimately driven away by the old language and how he tends to drone on. It is hard to review this because I did not finish the whole collected works. I also did not hate Lovecraft's writings. A lot of his stories are awesome and have fantastic components. In my humble opinion if Lovecraft's stories could somehow be updated without losing their content I would be more inclined to read and enjoy them.
review 2: Odd. Lovecraft is an eldritch writer fond of antediluvian words that shew he's more than a little pretentious. But that's part of his charm. He makes you feel like the more you read, the more you know of his crazy world.With every reference to the Necrono... moremicon there comes this feeling of, "Oh yes, I know all about that." This gives the mad fear a creepy sense of familiar and consistency.Some of his stories are dull. Some of the grand reveals of horror are trivial and embarrassing. But Lovecraft is fun, eccentric, kooky, and sincere. He has a point and a vision and a voice and is true to it.I have avoided reading Lovecraft for years and years because I could never get past his silly use of language and his grandiose and comical descriptions. But the more I read, the more charming his campy madness became. Flaws became strengths.I think that's the lesson here: evidently the debate over whether Lovecraft is a good writer or a bad one has raged for years. I suspect both sides of the debate are pointing at the same facts to bolster their arguments. And they are both right. less

Ha ha, this guy's so cool. Unexpected racism ("degenerate Esquimeaux"?), prose so purple it's headed off the visible spectrum, Rhode Island's finest nerdy scientists and amateur genealogists facing off against sorcerers and/or other-dimensional gods and/or sentient fungi who've colonized Pluto, and cults. Always, cults. Is it horror? It's certainly weird. And while he was all about giving characters glimpses of a vast (and crowded!) universe, he paints a pretty interesting picture of late 19th and early 20th century America too. And hats off to Norm Sherman's Drabblecast. His readings of Lovecraft's stories are what made me go looking for this collection, and I couldn't read a word without hearing it read in his cool sinister radio voice.

Sitting down to read "absolutely everything Lovecraft ever wrote" is certainly a daunting task, especially for anyone not deeply familiar with (and a fan of) his writing style. That being said, there is absolutely no excuse not to have this in your library, especially when an industrious grad student has compiled them into an ebook that she is giving away for free.Because I recommend reading everything, one or two shorts at a time between the other novels on your reading list, I'm not going to bother making a list of "must-read" stories from this collection. I DO suggest jumping around a bit; as the stories are in chronological order, sometimes two or three very similar tales that Lovecraft was writing at the same time follow successively.

I am thoroughly enjoying these classics from my youth.
