Fortune, you are my personal hero! I have three thick books containing full versions of most of H.P. Lovecrafts stories. Small print so they fit it all in there. One of them is labeled "The Dream Cycle of H.P. Lovecraft" and entitled "Dreams of Terror and Death." The title doesnt work quite so well in my opinion because they're is just as much about fantasy woven into his horror fiction in this collection and deealing with fantastic visions and imagined and lost kingdoms in dreams. Well it's wonderful. It's a must read!
I think you can find it here:

So if you haven't already read further into his work and want to there you go
Hope I could hook you up.
I also have an extremely thick book entitled "The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe" As far As I know most of it's there if not all of it. What was published that is. It not only includes All his stories, but all his poems, too and some essays and article excerpts and lectures that he has written. It includes the entire novella "Narrative of Gordon A. Pym."
And finally, for nwo I will mention another favorite author of mine. His name is Neil Gaiman and he has quite an impressive site at
www.neilgaiman.com. Check it out. I don't know if you've ever heard of The Sandman adult comics series. It's won many awards, including The World Fantasy Award for one episode, which is an extremely prestigious award that's never been awarded to an author for a comic/graphic novel type thing before and hasn't since. His most famous book is probably Neverwhere (great fantasy/adventure story about a secret society of people and creatures and lore living in the secret passageways of the London Underground abandoned subway and sewer systems in the shadows. His newest one is American Gods, which is just ubelievable. There are preview summaries on the site if your interested.
Anybody else read this stuff?
