BLACK SEAS OF INFINITY: THE BEST OF H.P. LOVECRAFT (2001 Hardcover, SFBC Ed.)

Description: BLACK SEAS OF INFINITY: THE BEST OF H.P. LOVECRAFT (2001 Hardcover, SFBC Ed.) This is one of ye finest collections of Lovecraft's writing that I have enjoy'd. The excellent Contents includes some of Lovecraft's finest stories and others deem'd "lesser" works--and it amazes me how satisfying many of those lesser tales are. "Pickman's Model" is judged by many as weak because they predict its ending early on--& yet that ending is the least interesting aspect of this story of a sinister aspect of ye long-dead past and ye creatures that may haunt that past and seep into modernity. Richard Pickman, as a character, is exactly as he shou'd be, a dark soul with a tantalizing intellect. "The Lurking Fear" is one of my favourite Lovecraft tales, in part because of its wildness of language. The writing is a classic example of Lovecraft's power to evoke a near-insane narrative that paints a diseased portrait of the world and its secretive inhabitants. I have found "The Lurking Fear" so fabulous that it inspired me to write my own version of it, set in Sesqua Valley--a very fan-boy thing to do, I confess. Reading the fiction of H. P. Lovecraft puts me into a feverish state, one that so infects me that I cannot resist ye lure of writing my own stories in whut my demented soul imagines is "the Lovecraft tradition." -- W.P., Goodreads.
