Thanks for the kind review. I want to assure you that my notes in "New Annotated Dracula" NEVER distort the facts, only offer a spin on those facts. Hope you'll give it another try!
Hi Peter, I wanted to thank you for this great review. I'm a french student that don't read much expect newspaper, I was looking for something to read since my literary culture is really poor and I decided to challenge myself by chosing Lovecraft's Universe and even reading it in original version with annotations, and that is thanks to your video. I hope it'll arouse a new motivation for me to widen my culture. I wish you all the best for the future.
+Julien Soulié Hi Julien. Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm impressed that you're tackling HP Lovecraft! He's really quite a find. Would be interested to see how you get on.
Thank you Leslie. That's a helpful way to describe your approach on Dracula. I certainly do intend to revisit the book as it is packed with so much great information. I'm also really looking forward to your book on Poe. Is there a release date? Once again commend you on your excellent work, you really are a master at this.

Glad you mention "The Festival", which has, despite certain flaws, always been a favorite of mine. I think Joshi (and the long "o" is correct) is right when he calls it essentially a prose poem, just as "The Colour Out of Space" also largely fits that description; hence the deep evocation of the eerie and elusive atmosphere of place -- much like his friend Clark Ashton Smith's "The Shadows" or "The Crypts of Memory", which I highly recommend. Klinger's book is indeed a beauty, and well worth having on the shelf (I owe my copy to the kindness of Wilum Pugmire -- thank you again, Wilum!). By the way -- good series: intelligent and a very nice intro to those new to Lovecraft, and certainly enjoyable to a long-time reader such as myself....
After years I got the chance of buying this book and waited so long before the actual delivery, and when I held it in my hands I have been so disappointed... the current book is made in China, not USA and so many details are different... the quality of printing is definitely poor, like the paper...and the jacket is horrible and flat...no texture and bad printing... Same ISBN, first edition...but a total different book and... for someone who just waited so long before getting it...you can immagine. wwnorton made me very disappointed and I don't think I will buy their books again

This is excellent, intelligent and informative. I shall share on Facebook.
Wilum! Such kind words, especially from a Lovecraft hero like yourself. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
