If you're looking for just one succinct Lovecraft anthology (and as someone who's read pretty much all the fiction he ever wrote, I can vouch that that's all you need), then this volume is it. It contains all of Lovecraft's most famous stories, in addition to the novellas "At the Mountains of Madness" and "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," in which regard it supercedes the earlier Del Rey collection. Look no further for the hyper-eloquent, overwritten, occasionally-chilling schlock for which everyone loves Lovecraft.
