Additional notes on this edition: The stories are presented in a chronological order. There are footnotes by S T Joshi throughout the book. Otherwise, thank you so much for watching!
I grabbed mine army local Barbs & Noble because sometimes there are flaws in the leather. Example when I was buying mine I grabbed the copy at the bottom of the stack because it clearly had no defects, while the one on top had the cosmos image too off center. Just be aware that ordering one online may or may not guarantee it being perfect or not, overall I’d say this and the copy of the complete Cthulhu mythos are well worth both getting.
I got the entire narrative in my native language. Even tho the translators tried to adapt some parts to maintain the original writing as much as they could (Zadok in The Shadow Over Innsmouth speaks like an andalusian lol), I knew reading it in it's original language would be far more satisfying. I'll definitively get this book the next month.
Interesting to note that they removed the 'about the author' section which although listed on the contents page of the edition i have (which is the same as this one in every other respect) is totally missing!
We need an actual complete works of everything Lovecraft touched and all the stories that others finished for him. Like The Curse of Yig isn't in this one so technically its not "complete". I'd like to own one book of everything instead of 2-4 with 1 or 2 stories that are in one but not the others.
I was just wondering about this. I’d like to start reading his stories to prepare for a future book I plan to write. It would be nice if I could get a single volume of everything he’s ever written. I’m not clear on how I should start collecting his work.
It's the second edition and it still has typos and is missing stories. I have the "Chartwell Classics" edition which has more stories (I did a quick comparison of the table of contents of both books) but not that nice a cover. It was published in 2016. However, it's superior for the two reasons I mentioned even though there's no Joshi intro..
For anyone stumbling upon this thread, this guy is lying. both books have the same stories. The only difference s that the one in the video also includes his juvenilia. So yeah, technically the Barnes and Noble version has MORE stories, NOT LESS
Great video! thanks a lot. You seem to be the right person to ask about The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales Barnes & Noble. If I buy that edition, which other book do I have to buy to complement it and have the entire work of fiction? Thanks in advance! Regards.
I'm sorry for this awfully late reply! This channel is not my main channel on RUclips and I pretty much forgot about it. If you want everything written by Lovecraft then you would have to complement that edition with either some 'The Complete Fiction' edition like the one showed here or maybe the Knickerbocker Classics Edition, and also get 'Collected Fiction Volume 4 (Revisions and Collaborations): A Variorum Edition' from Hippocampus Press (www.hippocampuspress.com), unless you are okay with hunting down his collaborations on the Internet (which I did). I hope that helped! :) Sorry once again for the late reply.
That depends on what you mean by complete. This contains all HPL's *original* fiction -- the work he did entirely on his own, plus the story he collaborated on with E. Hoffmann Price, "Through the Gates of the Silver Key", and the piece of ghost-wrote for Harry Houdini, "Under the Pyramids" (a.k.a. "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs", a title given it by the editor; HPL's own title was the first given here). His other collaborations/revisions, however, are not included. Those have been released in several different editions, from Arkham House to a two-volume annotated edition (which, unfortunately, does include some notable typos here and there, though not an overwhelming number) from Arcane Wisdom press -- though this latter is, I believe, out of print. The most accessible would be either the Arkham House hardbound "The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions", or its trade paperback reprint. These stories are either true collaborations or, in many cases, stories which Lovecraft wrote entirely, but from suggestions or brief descriptions of the purported writers. Many of these are of lesser value, but some, such as "The Mound" (based on a VERY brief description by Zealia Bishop, but one of his longest novellas, being slightly longer than "The Whisperer in Darkness") are major entries in the Lovecraft canon.
What's the difference between this and the complete cthulhu mythos tales? Are the stories that are in this book, but not the cthulhu mythos tales not related to the mythos? Aren't all Lovecraft's works connected in one universe?
Hi, I know of two videos that can help you answer these questions. Search on RUclips for these two videos: - H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos Michael K. Vaughan - The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft Michael K. Vaughan They helped me understand better your same questions
Question- I purchased the complete cthulu mythos and am looking to buy the complete fiction as presented in the video, does this contain all of the cthulu mythos?
978-1-4351-2296-3 This appears to be the ISBN. It matches with the Barnes and Noble number on their website since the 2nd edition is dated 2011 and the 1st is dated 2008.
@@belto3149 Do you have the code of the book? Because I try to buy it but I can’t find any difference online between the newer version with silver instead of gold trim on the pages.
The Necronomicon is just a short 2 paged story with a brief history of its creation. The entirety of the idea of the Necronomicon is just complete myth and left to the reader's imagination. Its a plot device and has never been really officially made. But Lovecraft did write that short story, but that and references to the book is all there really is of the fictional book.
I love Lovecraft, but the book binding is cheap 'bonded leather; not real leather.. Bonded leather contains less than 20% real leather. It is paper thin and is finite, it scratches easily and has a short shelf life.They used to make quality books with either real cloth or genuine leather, but that would cost a fortune now. I don't buy new books, they are cheaply made of cheap materials and won't last. If you can, buy vintage copies - or first editions if you can afford them, they are made of quality materIals. Barnes & Noble made books are essentially crap, I won't buy them, they are very poorly bound and they have poor resale value.
Hello! This is not the edition with the spelling/printing errors. If you want to avoid that edition then get the book I show in my video. Look for the silver gilding on the pages instead of the gold gilding! I hope that helps. P.S. Most editions of this B&N ed. is the corrected version. I'm happy to answer any further questions if you have any!
Additional notes on this edition:
The stories are presented in a chronological order.
There are footnotes by S T Joshi throughout the book.
Otherwise, thank you so much for watching!
The Lovecraft Collection should i get the complete fiction or the complete cthulhu mytho tales
Why all the stories have little amount of pages ?
I will probably get this one
This is probably one of the only books with every story. Most other collections don't actually have all his work and usually cost the same.
thank you for telling me what is not in the book. i think this is the one i am going to get so that i can start reading hp Lovecraft properly.
Great! Very amazing illustrated, thanks for sharing!
I just bought this and can't wait till it comes in the mail 😍

Nope, I'm Swedish!
Man you give so much negativity about this book's appearance... It's a beautiful book and as long as you treat it carefully it's gonna last.
People are particular and he is just making sure it's clear what they're buying. I know what u mean though, it does look really cool.
Is this the version that has all the mistakes? Cause I'd rater avoid that one if possible.
So... it is?
this is the corrected edition
@@jesusmora4720 do you have the code for this edition? Because I can’t deferential between them. BaN only have 1 version to their site
Does this book also contains The Necronomicon?
There is pretty much the same stories
It has fucking misspellings. Or did Lovecraft type gay as Grey?.... and many other words.
