There's a big difference in price between these and the Wordsworth books (£7.99 as opposed to £2.99!) though I did recently buy their edition of The Beetle, which is very nice. I like the yellow and black covers. Just a pity about the extortionate price for out of copyright books.
I see Penguin's own site lists The House on the Borderland as by Ambrose Bierce. Careless.

The Wordsworth cover is quite attractive too, if we do say so ourselves   Apologies for the largeness of the image, I'm a bit new to this image uploading lark... |

I hope you think it as brilliant as I think it. I'm looking at getting hold of the filmed version.

"i can't believe you payed a tnner for this..."
to which i had to reply:
"put it on the side and don't touch it!"
