Lovely!!!

I've only had a chance to leaf through it so far, but it is gorgeous. I can't wait to read all of the scholarship!

A gateway to other dimensions

I thought I knew the old gent's works. Certainly, "The Shunned House" was a staple, both the book and the DART episode. Then, one day, I found a thing on my doorstep, a delivery of "Night-Black Deeds".
I browsed it, then had to stop. I was wasting good reading time - and went back to the beginning, savouring every word. It was academic. It was art. All in one.
I compare it to visiting an aged but familiar relative who has always been there, and one day, as an adult, you realise how many relatives they had, some of them famous, and what momentous events they lived through, and how different and even adventurous their times were. I know more about the old gent now. I know the streets of Providence a little better. I know the economics of moving an old house and why a sailboat appeared in a main street. And who knew about that peculiar scientist, next door? I couldn't pass by a single footnote or skip through a single section. The House is now real to me.
Full credit to the team who produced it. And by the way, it's a real book, nice cover, quality paper, and well illustrated, none of your pixels on a device in a plastic carapace! If we see the original story as the bare bones, this volume adds generous serves of meat.
