The Commonplace Book - Volume 1 & 2 - Cover by Robert H. Knox Best described by Lovecraft himself. "This book consists of ideas, images & quotations hastily jotted down for possible future use in weird fiction" Of the 160ish pages over 2 volumes the commonplace book is only 15 pages long, the rest is dedicated to analysis and comment on the contents.

Just thought I'd add a thread about this small press publisher. I've only included publications which i have, rather than a full list.
Necronomicon Press was founded in 1976 and began publishing mainly Lovecraft related literary criticism, fiction and poetry.
I've not included a lot of detail but i will add it on request or when i get time. It's often more interesting to see these publications than read a dry list of contents.

Thanks for adding these, nosferatu. It's a shame they stopped numbering them after issue 4, as that would have prevented me attributing the wrong ones to the pair up top of thread. Have since found a copy of the real number 7. I have both 5 & 6 and they are numbered, just look in the bottom left corner of the cover.

Clark Ashton Smith - The Dweller in the Gulf, Necronomicon Press chapbook, June 1988. Cover art by Robert H. Knox. In the late 80's, Necronomicon produced half a dozen chapbooks called 'The Unexpurgated Clark Ashton Smith,' this is one of them. In their words: "... Smith's work frequently fell victim to the editor's pen, due to their length, their richly atmospheric prose, or, on occasion, their risque contents," therefore these chapbooks featured texts taken from the original manuscripts. "The Dweller in the Gulf" is one of my favourite of his S.F/horror stories, the ending being particularly stunning - it was that ending that was originally changed for magazine publication. I've just been back in the Attic, and found my books again. What a surprise that i've got a few of the Necronomicon Press CAS books. May be tempted to read them again.
