The Night Land contains absolutely fascinating and extraordinary visions, but it is too long, diffuse, ineptly written, and marred by obnoxious romance to qualify as Hodgson's best and most quintessential work, in my opinion.

The House on the Borderland, by contrast, is much better written, and its cosmic visions are much more powerful, to me. I well remember my first reading of the book years ago, while on a camping holiday on the Ile d'Yeu, and feeling as if in a daze for days after reading it. Rarely has a book made such a powerful impression on me. It left me, in Hemingway's words, "as empty, transformed, and melancholy as all high feelings do". Few literary works embody such cosmic sweep and vision, and offer such a salutary reminder of the littleness of humanity, of its thoughts, its aspirations, and its very lives within the cosmic scale.

As for others' preferences, CAS seems to have been more intrigued by The Night Land, but Lovecraft's remarks in Supernatural Horror in Literature indicate clearly to me that he thought The House on the Borderland to be the better book.

Well, that is just wonderful. Just wonderful.
I think that how well one appreciates a work, and ability to understand and capture its subject and subtleties, depends to a large extent on the amount and range of pre-knowledge one has of things that relate to it. I was quite young when I read it, and may experience it completely different today.

He did write "But for a few touches of commonplace sentimentality this book would be a classic of the first water." So he didn't think The House on the Borderland was quite a classic of the first water.

And he spent twice as much text for The Night Land. And wrote "... one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written... there is a sense of cosmic alienage, breathless mystery, and terrified expectancy unrivalled in the whole range of literature."

Lovecraft was clearly fond of both books, but I think that he found Borderland to be a better work of finished art, for whatever that is worth. "Perhaps the greatest of all Mr. Hodgson's work" are the prefatory remarks to his discussion of Borderland.

By the way, I have always found the misleading, incomplete quotation of Lovecraft by publishers of Borderland to be simultaneously amusing and annoying. Publishers seldom fail to quote the "classic of the first water" part of Lovecraft's statement, but they always manage to omit the "but for a few touches of commonplace sentimentality" portion.

That proves how one can construct a lie from quotations.

I have received the Night Shade Night Land, and after having read all raving reviews, I am somewhat disappointed with the book design. I had expected really heavy boards, with deep relief artwork, and a thick layer of silver. Like old silver coin from a pirates' hoard. This is more economic. The spine is still very good and sturdy. I couldn't ask for a better cover artist. Hollander's exquisite work sets the right tone. He is a fine continuation of the classic Weird era and Arkham House artists. The interior design is nice, except for a few typo errors I discovered in the editor's introduction. I guess that's the price of growing big and handling too many projects at the same time.
No silver comes off the book.

All in all, the book has a nice grisly aesthetic, very fitting for the subject.

When it comes to book cover artwork, I'd much rather see classic paintings, such as Penguin used for its Lovecraft volumes, or photography, such as Hippocampus used for the collected poetry of CAS, than awful, kitschy, amateurish "artwork" of the Utpatel or Hollander variety. De gustibus....

The classic paintings for the Penguin Lovecraft volumes have no relevant relation to the stories.
Hollander's artwork for the Hogson Night Shade volumes is a collage from all the stories. In style it looks like an ancient medieval map.

Simplified artwork leaves more to ones own imagination. When it is really good it triggers the imagination.

I appreciate realistic paintings too, if their style and execution of the subject matter correspond to my taste and don't veer off too much from my personal imagination of the story.
I like the photographic cover Potter did for A Rendezvous in Averoigne.

Even if there is no direct relationship to the stories, the classic artworks are evocative, and, I think, stimulate the imagination more than direct illustrations, by allowing one to create one's own associations. The same is true of photographs. "Simple" is fine, but Hollander and the Arkham House artists veer into the incompetent, for my taste.

Potter's cover for A Rendezvous in Averoigne is effective, but most of his other illustrations in that volume, I think, are awful. A friend of mine even went so far as to tear them out of the book!

At least the Hollander work for the Hodgson series, from what I have seen of it, is better than the covers for the CAS tales, although, in itself, that isn't saying much!

That is a valid point. Even if I still think pictorial cover-art depicting a situation should be related to the contents of the book.
Purely decorative covers can be good too, like with plantlife patterns. In older days they often did that, and in those times the book was a piece of artwork in itself, rather than just "frame" for a painting.
The most important thing is to set an appropriate mood.



I recently decided to buy some books with Poe (having only borrowed at the library when needed). The Penguin (same series as Lovecraft) cover for The House of Usher is quite effective I think. Perhaps not exactly beautiful with the thin solitary figure, but the overwhelming empty blackness captures the abyssmal terror of his stories, and the colours are Poesque. (I think the illustration is from The Masque of the Red Death.)

Quote:

I most definitely agree! For instance, Dore's weird cosmic Grim Reaper on the cover of the third Lovecraft volume in the Penguin series sets the mood perfectly. The simple cover of the Lapis edition of Julien Gracq's Castle of Argol does so, as well.

A very inviting cover.

I want to bind my own books for The House on the Borderland and The Ghost Pirates. And for a selection of hard to find Algernon Blackwood stories, to complement my collection. How is the quality of online texts generally? At [www.gutenberg.org] and [manybooks.net] for example? Misspellings and typograhical errors common? Or are the texts meticulous?

I cannot speak for the quality of the particular sites that you mention, although I do read texts on occason at Project Gutenberg. In general, though, I do not trust the quality of most online texts, myself. They are fine for reading online, but I would not invest money in printing and binding them--at least, not unless they appear to be properly scanned and in PDF format. I would avoid any HTML texts, if I were you.

Looked like a photograph in the picture. Having the book in my hands, it is actually a painting.

It is quite confusing how the internet and computor graphics can trick your mind, manipulating colors (and forms) in images, to look completely different from the actual thing.

Speaking of binding books, my copy of Smith's Classical Dictionary (1888) [nothing to do with Clark Ashton SMITH] is falling apart; I need to have it rebound.

I recently read through some books (Yeats's Golden Dawn, On the Nightmare, and Man Into Wolf) which had some fascinating lists of rare books in them. Yeats's Golden Dawn had a list of the contents of the Order of the Golden Dawn's hermetic library as of 1897. A lot of people like to make fun of the Golden Dawn, and William Butler Yeats' involvement with it, but the list there shows them to have been a very erudite organization. If I owned just 1/12th of the books in this list, I'd consider myself a very fancy boy, indeed.

On the Nightmare, by Freudian psychoanylist [sp?] Ernest Jones, is a seminal, essential work, absolutely necessary for understanding dreams and their role in society. Before reading this book, I had been satisfied to look askance at the findings/assertions of Freudian psychoanalysis; no more. The books listed here by Jones as sources are likewise a wish-list of arcane literature. Man Into Wolf, by renowned scholar Robert Eisler, is an equally erudite, if not as essential work, dealing with the role of sadism in the human unconscious and society. It is perhaps significant as perhaps the first work (that I know of) to use the phrase "serial killing" (1949).

I did not include all the books mentioned in the lists below, just the ones that seemed most interesting. I apologize in advance for any typing errors in the following lists; I'm not a good typist, ---plus a weird/latent dyslexia seems to have played its part.
