My copy of Miskatonic Missives (Vol. 1) – Collector’s Slipcase Edition and The Blood-Red Sphinx accessories from the HP Lovecraft Historical Society arrived about a week ago — and they are absolutely fantastic.
The amount of work that has gone into this set is impressive. The books themselves are beautifully produced, filled with annotations and color photos, and the extras are great fun: replica newspaper pages, a detective badge, photos of the actress featured in the radio play, and more. It really feels like opening a small archive rather than just a book set.
Honestly, my quick photos don’t do them justice.
One of the reasons I finally pulled the trigger is that the HPLHS is currently running a raffle to support preservation of the Robert E. Howard House — and this very book set is one of the prizes. I bought a few raffle tickets, but I’ve had my eye on this set for quite a while and figured… why not.
