Book Reviews of The Lovecraft Lexicon: A Reader's Guide to Persons, Places and Things in the Tales of H.P. Lovecraft
Book Review: Good, but not complete
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book to be very good but don't understand why they chose not to include ALL of his tales. They used only 80% of his stories, leaving out:
-Azathoth
-Ex Oblivione
-Memory
-Nyarlathotep
-Old Bugs
-Sweet Ermengarde
-The Book
-The Descendant
-The Very Old Folk
-What the Moon Brings
Granted three of those are only fragmentary, but I still believe they should have all been included for the sake of completeness. Even if they only used the other 7 it still would had made this book that little bit better.

Summary of The Lovecraft Lexicon: A Reader's Guide to Persons, Places and Things in the Tales of H.P. Lovecraft
For decades, H.P Lovecraft's horror stories---such as The Dunwich Horror and The Call of Cthulhu---have intrigued and horrified readers from all over the world. But Lovecraft's world is filled with a daunting array of bizarre and obscure characters, monsters, places and "things" which can be quite a task for anyone to sort out. Anthony Pearsall has done just that. From "Abbadon" (a demon in The Nameless City) to "Zuro" (a river in The Quest of Iranon), Pearsall has meticulously covered hundreds of the People, Places and Things-That-Go-Bump-In-The-Night in Lovecraft's writings. The Lexicon also includes quite a bit about Lovecraft himself, as well as many of the People, Places and Things which influenced his life and his writings. And if that weren't enough, a special Appendix details one of Lovecraft's recurrent themes: "Caves, Caverns, Wells & Abysses." A "must have" for all fans of Lovecraft's work.Reference Books
