Free EPUB version of the Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft
December 7th, 2010 · 14 Comments[This eBook has been completely revised and greatly improved. The page now contains a download link for the new book.]
I have completely redone the book listed below and created a chronologically-organized ebook of Lovecraft’s complete original works. It can be downloaded here and you can read more about it in my complete works of Lovecraft ebook launch post.
I recently got a Nook, which is a real wonder if I want to read and crochet at the same time. I’d been casting around for a good ebook of H.P. Lovecraft’s complete works, or as many of them as I could get. I couldn’t find anything that I really liked, but then remembered a compilation of 69 Lovecraft stories on the Australian Project Gutenberg.
So I used that text as an HTML document and got Calibre‘s conversion process to turn it into a proper EPUB format, which is Nook compatible. The table of contents links seem to work for all the books (I tested a handful).
I don’t make any guarantees about how it’ll look on your e-Reader, but on my Nook it looks pretty good so far. I’ll update the download if I find errors that are easy to fix. And once the Christmas Cthulhu rush is over, I may even add more stories/organize the table of contents better. Subscribing to the blog, following me on Twitter, or liking Cthulhu Chick on FB are the best ways to find out if it gets updated. Or leave a comment asking me to e-mail you.
The stories it contains are:
The Nameless City
The Festival
The Colour out of Space

Very cool! In the Vault is my favorite non-mythos Lovecraft story. Wonderfully creepy!

Finally convinced me to correct one of the great sci-fi/fantasy/whatever-genre-it-is failings in my reading history and finally read some Lovecraft. And thanks to Calibre it looks just fine on my Kindle, too.
Thanks for putting that together!

Can’t wait to see your updated version! I lent my Cthulhu books to a friend and well, haven’t gotten them back. Now that I have a Nook and your compilation I can get back into the stories.

Well, I’m a bit late to comment but I have to say thanks a bunch for this download! Great work in putting it together, it’s much appreciated. Anywho, here I am, off to go read!

British author Charles Stross has produced some interesting works in a related genre. Look out for ‘The Atrocity Archves’, “The Jenifer Morgue’ and “The Fuller Memorandum”…

10x better than the loathesome, unwholesome error-laden copy of Charles Dexter Ward that I paid money for at Amazon. Bless you!

It’s by chance (and the magical powers of Google) that I happened across this page and I am so happy that I did. A million thank yous for this and a million more because I can imagine how much time and effort you put into this herculean task.
Now I’m off to squee and do a happy dance (and, of course, read).

I used to read H.P.Lovecraft books many many years ago when I was a lot younger, he was one of my favourite authors. I have just bought a Kindle and I am shortly off to Koh Samui, Thailand for a Months holiday, I can’t wait to spend lots of time chilling on the beach and reading these books.
Many thanks for all your efforts in compiling this collection, it must have been a massive task but so worthwhile.

Thank you so much for making this! I’ve been a Lovecraft fan for many years, and own all of his works in multiple editions, but I’d been really wanting a good quality electronic copy of the complete works ever since buying a Nook last month. I’d found one .epub copy previously, but it didn’t have a hyperlinked table of contents (definitely a problem in a text that’s 1000+ pages long and comprised entirely of short stories!). This one is perfect, though! Thanks again for all the effort you put into making it. You are awesome!
Now, off to read “The Strange High House in the Mist” by candlelight xD

Thanks for the epub files! I’ve been interested in the Lovecraft mythos for some time now, but never got around to reading the books – so, again, thank you for providing them!
Also, great site you have here! So refreshing to see a fellow fantasy nut in their element.
