You were getting your geek on with this one !!!

I must resist! Can I resist? Those volumes are incredible.

I love the covers on these volumes. I'm still not sure how the tentacles look so 3D, but it's kind of freaking me out. :)

Excellent overview of these great books! I picked up the first of these based on your recommendation some times ago and it remains one of the favorites in my collection. I still need the second one but will probably hold off for now.

I had the first volume, lovely book. I gave it up, though, when moving country - definitely a book for a stately library; you wouldn't be taking it on the bus with you. I just ordered the American Library edition of the tales.

Just ordered it after watching this video. Books looks awesome

Both excellent books, great video as ever

Wow these sound amazing! I’m excited to hear about the annotated Dracula too.

These look incredible! They actually look like a GREAT place to start…. I might get these. Thanks for sharing!

I've got both Lovecraft and the Dracula Annotated editions and I think they're amazing.

What amazingly beautiful books.....like art! Also - as a side note - yours is among my favorite of the video-background bookshelves!

I love the cover of the first edition of volume one! But I REALLY want to see the Dracula annotated book! 🧛‍♂️

OMG love the squiggly tentacle cover! Cephalopods are my favorite! 🦑

Great review, Michael! I have several editions of Lovecraft, different Complete Fiction editions, Mythos and Collected Works, Lovecraft is one of my favourite authors, but those annotated are still on my shopping list. (It's a big one! And for some unknown mystery, I don't know why but the more I buy, the more it grows!) I know Klinger's amazing work because I have his Dracula and Frankenstein books, and after seeing this I feel even more eager to get my hands on them. Loved your enthusiasm, man. Thanks for sharing. ;)

great videos! please don't stop

You talked about them when you showed the shelves. I bought them, and Dracula, and Frankstein. But my favourite will be Sherlock for sure. Now, I envy your cover of the first one. Mine is a stupid pink. I t doesn’t match the second volume.

Really nice books, I recently grabbed the Library of America "Tales" after watching your earlier video. The new volume of the Annotated Lovecraft looks like there some Japanese manga vibes going on with the cover. But the Annotated Dracula on the shelf behind you. I need that in my life, and the Frankenstein as well. this channel is really hurting my wallet, and she who must be obeyed isnt amused ;)

Nice

I've seen both of these but I thought they were the same book 🤣 they look amazing

Thanks for the video. I’m writing about H.P Lovecraft’s poetry for my senior thesis yet I can’t find any journal article or books about his poetry. There are poetry collections but no annotated poetry books or a journal article about his poetry or any literary analysis. Are you familiar with an annotated poetry book by Lovecraft?

Excellent video. I'll have to look for those books (in the old cover. The new one looks a little fairy tale/anime). I look forward to a video on the annotated Dracula. I have a copy of the novel, but lost my annotated copy somewhere (probably during a move).

Good review, Michael. As a Lovecraft reader, i got to have these. Shame, though, that they seem to be missing his long essay, Supernatural Horror in Literature. Its omission is a little strange, considering the obvious difference in page count from Volume 1 to Volume 2, and that both are similarly priced. It is an essential work and would have been a nice bonus.

Very interesting, Michael! No rambling!

Thanks for sharing this, as well as your other reviews. I've been looking for a very nice, relatively-complete edition of Lovecraft's works (any review of the Easton Press complete book?). I have the Barnes and No-Balls non-leather/pre-correction version. I was thinking about the B/N Leather updated version you covered but I REALLY hate the cardboard cutout inserted in the cover: I wish they would've just left it all leather. Any thoughts on the Arcturus 6-book set? Anywayz, watching this, I DO kinda like that it has all the references and the early illustrations. So I might pick it up. Not that I need another book to purchase. Again, thanks! :)

Will you purchase the new edition ? The cover looks great. They both look like terrific volumes. Klinger's forward looks like a really good intro to horror history for beginners. I think the 200th deserves another Q&A 😉😉

Cruel to tease about that Dracula book. 👹😮😍

Is the volume with the white cover the same as the dark one? Same edition, different cover? Thanks.

Can you give me a specific error in the first one so I can see if I have the updated version?

Is it strange 2 You that I hate annotated books?? LoL. They are just annoying 2 me....unless it's a non fiction History text. I had a annotated Tarzan of the Apes I traded for a non annotated one. They look at me like I was crazy.. LoL. Now that other stuff You are showing is pretty cool. Each 2 Their own. 👍 Wow!!! Your Dark Arts are Growing 2 strong for me 2 witness 🤯. It sends my brain shrieking into Madness. 👍 As always....Great Book Review, and Video. 👍😁👍 200 videos coming, and I've watched all except 1. LoL.

Well, this was a very effective commercial 😂 I would definitely like to add that to my collection at some point. But is that really the new cover of volume 1? (The one you "projected" lol) I did not like that cover much at all. Volume 2 is the most appealing from the outside

Would love to read lovecraft with decent foot notes but these volumes look too cumbersome for me.
