Question about H.P. Lovecraft

[riderV3]

I was looking for H.P. Lovecraft's works recently, but have no luck finding what I want...

All I need is a nice little collection of his short stories that contains The Call of Cthulhu, Dagon, The Rat in the wall and The Pickman's Model.

I've went through all the Barns & Noble and Half Price Books around my area, but they don't seem to have what I'm looking for...
There're some collection of his stories in store but the stories I want are all scattered in different collections.

Anyone out there got any suggestion that where can I find a great collection of his works? Or any books you know of that contain the stories I'm looking for?

Thanks a whole lot!

This is the book for you:

http://www.amazon.com/Call-Cthulhu-P...e=UTF8&s=books

Plus it has the Re-Animator short story.

BTW the books that Dana P. posted don't have all the stories that you are looking for.

Thank you Dana and Thank you MiamiLoco!
I've searched everywhere BUT Amazon...
I'll look them up!

Both amazing collections.

I've seen the The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre in store, I'll go read a few stories free tomorrow at lunch and see what I need.

Dana P.,

riderV3 wanted ONE book with those stories. None of those books you suggested had ALL of those stories in there.

You're actually right, I want them in one book, so the book you recommended is still my top choice, but the information Dana provided are equally useful/good as yours, so it's okay, man, peace.

I might end up buying multiple collections if I like Lovecraft's works, so the books Dana suggested might come in handy later, and they are in-store and easier to find.

So it's unnecassary to argue over this kinda little thing, any comments regarding this topic are welcomed, I don't want to limit other member's replies.

But I figured out that before I buy any of these, I'll go to Barns & Noble tomorrow during lunch and read a few stories to see if Lovecraft's style fit my taste.

So I really appreciate your help as I appreciate Dana's!
Oh! And don't forget the master William Paquet, thanks for your comment!

Rider, if you are a Hellboy fan, you will love these stories. Especially Call of Cthulhu and At The Mountains of Madness.

Hey you creep me out, how you know I'm a Hellboy fan...
Okay, I was kidding, but seriously, Hellboy is THE BEST comic/character/story line in this decade(From early 90s' till today) IMO.
Can't wait to read them tomorrow!!
Thanks for the info!

Competitive recommending!

I started reading H P Lovecraft a couple of years ago. I love the style of his writing. I was once reading one of his books and my brother in law asked me what it was about. I replied something along the lines of it being about ancient, nameless terrors that drove men mad in one glance. My brother in law then asked me if it was true story....
