What is Reddit's opinion of Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H.P. Lovecraft (Commemorative Edition)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> Do you think the idea that creepy Destiny = best Destiny is lost on the text bc of those mistakes?

If that was your main point, then yes, I definitely lost it. I like creepy Destiny too, and the weird museum aesthetic of the new raid is great... it's just not Lovecraftian. If you want to dip your toes into Lovecraft, I'd suggest the collected short stories in Necronomicon. It has a nice range of his work, with all the different kinds of creepy represented - from the cosmic horror of "At the Mountains of Madness" to the more intimate weirdness of "Herbert West - Reanimator."

I'd suggest picking up Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H.P. Lovecraft. It has all of his more known shorts.

This is a good collection of Lovecraft's stories and poems. There isn't a real reading order, so I recommend just picking up this book or one like it and reading hichever story sounds most interesting in the moment. Most stories are less than 30 pages.

I have this version, the hard copy one. It's a beautiful book, with very nice illustrations and printed in nice paper.

Mind, it's also a big book which makes it a bit unwieldy to read, but as 'complete collections' go this is my favorite.

I've been wanting to run a CoC game for a while now and one thing i've wanted to do is have the players choose their last name from a list that have certain qualities, such as a rich family that went bankrupt 40 years ago for "reasons" and all the names would have benefits but also tie them back to a cthulhu mystery that, even if they aren't searching for it, is coming for them.

this hooks them into the mythos and gives players an easy in to be connected to each other if they want. and if you have the hooks for the names planned gives you a quick way to establish the overarching plot.

also a bit of "Cabin in the Woods" trickery. "you chose this fate when you picked your family"

I picked up a copy of the necronomicon to get ideas for some names that are established in the Cthulhu mythos.

never got around to making the list though

The best collection I've found came out rather recently actually.

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that the stories are presented in the order he wrote them.

I have 1 hard back for reading and 1 paperback for drawing/doodling/playing around with of the Necronomicon

Thanks for the giveaway. Very generous of you.

1). Here´s my Steam ID

2). I picked and would like to ask for Horizon: Zero Dawn. it is my decision and I will live with it.

3). "Mine is The Count of ´Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas´." Nevery read the book but the saw the movie, I have an idea... My favorite book however is ´Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H.P. Lovecraft´ (Read me). It is basically a compilation of his best and iconic short stories in a single book. I have linked it here for you, if you are interested in fantastic cosmic horror. Highly recommended.

4). Feel free to add me. I don´t have that many friends on Steam, as I hardly play multiplayer games.

This is the one that I have

Joke answer: At basically every bookstore.

I own many collections of Lovecraft's work and I find both Necronomicon and Eldritch Tales to be rather reasonable in terms of price, availability and the order in which the stories appear in the books themselves is very friendly to newcomers.

We have this, if it counts.

This is what I started with. Everything is in an order that makes it so you can just read through the book.

this ones got a bunch of his short stories and novellas:

I have this. Necronomicon

And it is pretty awesome all told

Perhaps they're referring to this?

Way better.

King was heavily influenced by Lovecraft. The Necronomicon anthology contains some of HP Lovecraft's best works (including, but extending beyond, the Cthulhu mythos). Definitely worth a read, just be prepared to look up some of the language used since it's circa early 1900s.

Not sure what your point is. It can still be the point of repetitive, stagnant discussion if it's a fictional book.

Moreso, it does exist as a collection, and the title of a collection is absolutely a way of referring to it.
