Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H. P. Lovecraft is one of the most comprehensive single-volume collections of Lovecraft’s fiction ever published. This Gollancz hardcover edition, edited by Stephen Jones, brings together the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle alongside Lovecraft’s wider canon of weird tales — all presented in their original, unedited form. At 895 pages, it is a substantial and deeply satisfying volume for any serious collector of dark fiction or early 20th-century literary horror.

This copy is a first printing, confirmed by the full number line (1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2) on the copyright page. First printings of this edition are increasingly sought after by book collectors and Lovecraft enthusiasts alike. The volume was issued without a dust jacket — a deliberate production choice — so its absence here is entirely as intended.
