i think it was ready to ship a week and a half ago, so we'll probably start seeing our books next week. that's my guess... have not yet consulted the stars nor the voids between them.

NECRONOMICON: THE BEST WEIRD TALES OF HP LOVECRAFT, Gollancz, £20.
Obscure in his lifetime, and still a somewhat marginal figure today, HP Lovecraft’s influence is nonetheless massive. Most horror writers acknowledge a debt to Lovecraft, whose stories revolve around one hypothesis: what if we don’t matter? What if humanity is a mayfly race in a fathomless cosmos, populated by ancient entities the mere knowledge of which will shatter a man’s mind?
Lovecraft is most associated with lurking horrors in sleepy New England towns, but this collection also includes At The Mountains Of Madness, his novella of unspeakable discoveries in the Antarctic, and The Horror At Red Hook, where Brooklyn’s “cheapness and vulgarity” hide “a horror of houses and blocks and cities leprous and cancerous with evil dragged from elder worlds”.
Lovecraft’s style is not for everyone; what some find powerfully evocative, others consider hysterically overwritten.
An interested newcomer would probably be happy with one of the slimmer paperback anthologies, but Stephen Jones’s 50-page afterword does good service as a brief literary biography.
