It has now been determined that HPL wrote most of the text for such tales as "The Curse of Yig" and "The Mound". I like that the book includes some of the rarely published "revisions & collaborations" works that Lovecraft wrote "with" other writers. The endpapers feature Coulthart's exquisite illustration of "R'lyeh" on pale green paper.
