	Behold! The picture of myself, as done by Lars Simkins! It gives little credit of myself, but it gives the idea. TRAMBLE! In case you can't figure it out, yes its a joke. Lovecraft fans know what that is.

	Yes, I recognized the name, (I like Lovecraft) but it probably should be TREMBLE (Brit or Yank English), but I'm not going to correct, you do the edit... OK, I'm a ***T for doing that

	Makes a note to continue with his reading of Lovecraft stories (I still have a way to go, I'm only in the "S" titles as I recall). I found a web site, no longer there, a few years ago and downloaded the pdf files of all the main Lovecraft stories, and printed them out. Unfortunately the computer with the pdf files passed on, and all I have is the print versions.

	But you can still type and make your own PDF's out of it.

	We will also be satisfied with just simple .docs-files.

	Lovecraft's works have entered public domain: http://www.noveltynet.org/content/books/lovecraft/works.html PDF and HTML.

	Aha! Thank you! That appears to be almost the same site (as far as content organization) as I used to visit. However, I still have a suspicion that site was pulled because of NOT public domain. Maybe that changed.

	Lovecraft books have entered public domain, expect a few that have been written with other people. Books set in Lovecraft universe are obviously not in public domain, but the 75 years-after-death-span has ended, making his works automatically entering public domain. For the better I say. There are good books, and people are more interested if its free.

	I happened to come across a mirror site which had the H.P. Lovecraft Library as I remembered it. http://tania.be.linux.org/mirrors/www.gizmology.net/lovecraft/works/index.htm Further puttering around at Zixinus' link (via the html link to the bibliography to Supernatural Horror in Literature that there are also gizmology.net links at this site. I think the site may have underwent a "facelift" when it disappeared for me. There is a link there to a discussion of copyrights (as relates to Lovecraft stories) that makes it clearer. http://web.archive.org/web/20031003114117/www.gizmology.net/lovecraft/copyrights.htm I stand corrected.

	The Beast in the Cave is one my favorites. So is In the Walls of Eryx.

	The Shadow Over Innsmouth is a good one, but just for its tongue-in-cheek style (which I didn't think H.P. would be capable of...) I like Ibid.

	Read "The Haunter of the Dark" just now, and i was attually quite disturbed by it for some reason... Out of interest, has anyone attempted any of E.A.Poe's work, as it is very similar to Lovecrafts work with his darker stories? The problem i have with them is their old nature of prose, and take a fair bit of reading when you just want relativly straight forward text upon an evenings read, which is where the slightly more modern tales from Lovercraft shine. I dont seem to have "The Beast in the Cave" in any of my collections, so i shall investigate it online tomorrow.
