About this item:
- Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life. Among his most celebrated tales is "The Call of Cthulhu", canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. Never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor, Lovecraft saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively straitened circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time he died at the age of 46

Kindle version of the complete collection of HP Lovecraft. Seemingly has good reviews for this edition. Not a bad price for some great horror.

Jules Verne, who is arguably the father of science fiction, has many instances of what we would deem as "problematic" views on various ethnicities in his writings. Yet, anyone reading "Around the World in 80 Days" today does not need disclaimers about the author or the content because it is obvious this classic work is from the perspective of the cultural norms from the time and place it was written.
Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw; the list goes on and on with celebrated authors that held and published views that are no longer mainstream in society. The same argument applies to other culturally significant entertainment media, i.e., classic movies and television. Again, I don't feel that there is a need to patronize the readers or viewers with contextualizing the creator's views; classical works are essentially time capsules with an implied understanding that they represent different and fluctuating societal norms throughout history. It is incumbent upon the reader or viewer to discern the antiquated concepts.
Realize that 100 years from now many of our current cultural views and their influence and depictions in our entertainment will be considered archaic and scorned. As we judge history so shall we be judged in history.

I have probably 4-5 of these "complete collections" in my Kindle library. HPL's writings are out of copyright and it is easy for an enterprising "publisher" to quickly cobble together an e-book and put in on Amazon with a price of a buck or so.
So the real question is: how is this edition different from dozens of others. The content (assuming it is truly "complete") is more or less the same, so it is about formatting, illustrations, commentary, notes etc. So far, looking through the comments (Amazon's bundling of different editions on one page doesn't help), there is nothing distinguishing this particular edition. Thus, if you already own one (or more), there's no crime in passing up on this one.

FWIW, I agree, any one of these is as good as the next, because the text is likely going to be the same on all of them, and the formatting is going to be garbage.
IMO, the only Lovecraft collection that's actually worth investing in is the Annotated Lovecraft [amazon.com], as the scholarly notes and footnotes are quite enjoyable to read.
