No problem Par... I do want to clarify though, I checked my collection, and
The statement of Randolph Carter is NOT in the
Bloodcurdling Tales... book, however it IS in
The Dream Cycle of HP Lovercraft: Dreams of Terror and Death, which is basically another, slightly larger collection of stories, so maybe you could take a look at that volume as well. The absolute best book, in my opinion, if you just want to go all out, is titled
Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of HP Lovecraft which is published by Orion Books in the UK, and that particular book is available only in the UK as a special edition (or so it says). I found a copy when I was in Scotland on vacation about 2 years ago. Maybe you can get it on Amazon. You will find that a few of the Del-Rey published books sometimes have duplicate stories in them, which is fine by me because they do contain a few that the other books do not have, so they are worth having. Good luck to you... Hope you find one that you like, and enjoy HPL as much as I have!!
