The Premiere Lovecraft Collection

In conjunction with publisher Insight Editions, we are proud to present The H.P. Lovecraft Experience: a huge and stunning set featuring the complete works of Lovecraft in two premium-bound volumes; an all-new original Reader’s Guide written by the HPLHS; and custom in-world collectible ephemera, all presented in a magnificently chilling 3-D sculpted case.

Over the years I've had countless editions of Lovecraft, but The H.P. Lovecraft Experience is definitive; a work of genuine artistry, whimsy and scholarship and an invaluable addition to any Lovecraftian library.

What a superlative product! Every devotee of Lovecraft will want to secure this major undertaking.

S.T. Joshi, Lovecraft Scholar

Like a prayer answered four decades later, I finally have in my hands the edition of Lovecraft I could only dream of as a mythos-drunk kid.  It is both artful and scholarly, respectful tome and fetish object.

David Prior, Director of "The Autopsy" for Netflix's Cabinet of Curiosities

Inspired by his waking nightmares, H.P. Lovecraft has astounded and terrified readers for more than a century. Now, fans can experience the visionary’s mystifying work in a format that both honors and celebrates his long-lasting legacy. In addition to Lovecraft’s complete fiction, The H.P. Lovecraft Experience features a comprehensive reading guide provided by the HPLHS and several pieces of exclusive, collectible, and personalizable ephemera from Lovecraft’s fictional Miskatonic University. 

MISKATONIC COLLECTIBLES: The H.P. Lovecraft Experience features a set of the ultra-realistic Miskatonic University ephemera designed by the HPLHS and presented in an in-world portfolio:

  • Student Coursebook
  • Orne Library Card
  • Stickers featuring academic seal
  • Embroidered Patch
  • Leatherette Bookmark
  • Miskatonic University Diploma (with custom stencil for filling in your name)

THE COMPLETE FICTION: The set includes HPL's complete fiction (edited by noted scholar S.T. Joshi) with an introduction by Sean Branney and Andrew Leman of the HPLHS. The set also includes an illuminating and lavishly illustrated Reader’s Guide by the HPLHS that gives key insights into Lovecraft’s most important short stories. 

PREMIUM FORMAT: With high-quality foil stamped binding, and housed in a custom-designed case (illustrated by Lee Moyer), The H.P. Lovecraft Experience (much like the author’s work itself) was made to stand the test of time. Seriously, this set is big, bold, and gorgeous!

This collection was amazing! It's gorgeous and has an amazing box to hold the awesome books inside. The included items from Miskatonic U were a fun addition and the readers guide is a great read as well. I only wish there were more readers guides available for more of the stories as I enjoy reading over the information included on the various stories. Definitely a worthy purchase if you plan to study for the endless nightmare to come.

Great edition of Lovecraft stories

I Love this book! I'm getting a second copy to give to someone I know will love it. They already have every Lovecraft story in print but they don't have this beautiful version!

Fantastic looking set.

Well, this is just great to look at. The colour scheme overall, I suppose afficionados would call it 'the palette' is just great. I pulled this out to show someone, they just said "Wow." someone else saw it, they both wanted it. It's heavy, so postage will hurt if you are abroad, and it did! but what do you expect, books weigh a fair bit, them's the breaks. The Readers Guide I thought was great, which opens the stories up to discussion. The only problem with the stories, is a me problem. I've got to reach for my reading glasses to sit down with the Lovecraft Collected Fiction books. Age has taken its toll with me. Nice artwork, and the image on the box is striking.Happy to have this in the house.

Full of typos

I cannot recommend against this edition enough to anyone who has any care for the fidelity of the text they’re reading. These books are absolutely riddled with typos - I’ve read maybe two dozen stories out of them so far, and more than half contained at least one typo. Many had more than one. I’m a big fan of the HPLHS, but they really missed the mark with this one. Far from being some sort of ultimate omnibus, this is by far the worst edition of Lovecraft’s works I’ve ever read, which is really saying something given the typographical quality of some historical editions!

Simon, thanks for your feedback. We have not discovered any errors so far (nor have any of our other customers reported any), but hope you will email us and identify the typos you've discovered so they could be remedied for future editions. I can say that this edition was prepared using the most current version of text carefully edited by S.T. Joshi, the world's leading textual authority on Lovecraft.
