Review: A remarkable read

I was familiar with the Lovecraft from the Call of Cthulhu RPG, but had never actually read any of the stories.Purchase of my Kindle led me to pick this up.  What a great deal for $2!The writing is amazing.  The ideas that Lovecraft either came up with or built upon are wonderful.  His Mythos is complicated and engaging.Lovecraft does a good job of referencing some earlier stories.  It's nice to hear about the Innsmouth Curse, for example, in multiple stories.  Though, you might get sick of hearing of the Mad Arab who wrote the Necronomican.  Seriously, was Mad part of his name?This collection, in my opinion, is front-loaded with the best stuff.  My favorites being The Call of Cthulhu, The Dunwich Horror and The Shadow over Innsmouth.  Though, the Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath is really good also.Now, be warned, this was written in a time when different language was acceptable.  Some of what he says is quite offensive, but, I hope readers can get past that to the true quality that is there.Easy 5 stars.Edit - I see that a rival publisher doesn't like this review, as all of the reviews here were down-voted after I pointed out this was the better version.  Tough.  This is the Lovecraft version to get.
