West Warwick,: Necronomicon Press,, 1977. Reprint.. The eleventh publication from Necronomicon Press. The reason these earlier publications were so large is that they were only printed on one side of the paper. I know this volume concludes in 1921, focussing primarily on HPL's poetry, but I wish they'd've pushed on a little to include the original publications of the tales: "In the Vault," and "The Cats of Ulthar," since they did include "The Terrible Old Man," and "The Tree." I do enjoy HPL's, FUNGI FROM YUGGOTH, and other poems in the genre, but like W.T. Scott condemnation, quoted by S.T., in his foreword, I too find Lovecraft's eighteenth century verse "rubbish." 1000 numbered copies. As new.
