Thanks. I actually have quite a bit of HPL's fiction: ten paperbacks including the six Ballantine editions with the great John Holmes covers. But what I don't have is his famous essay, The Supernatural in Horror Fiction. For $20 Barnes and Noble offers this new massively corrected volume with all his fiction arranged in chronological order, a few extra items the last of which is his essay. S.T. Joshi, for whom I have the highest admiration, writes the introductions and offers the essay in its "first textually sound" form. If you buy only one book a year...
