[snark] I am so glad that they crossed the words “horror” over the image of a skull, otherwise I would not have been aware that H.P. Lovecraft was a horror writer.[/snark]
Most available H.P. Lovecraft texts available as public domain are often lacking the finer points of formatting and typography. Plus, the truly public domain texts, if transcribed from the original pulp magazines, were horribly edited to fit space available.
