[quote="Willard"]I've idolized Fishboy since I was in junior high school. I'm mystified as to why no one has ever published a COMPLETE hardbound HPL anthology. I mean there are a finite and limited number of stories, surely they'd all fit in one big book. I suppose there's too much money to be made in scattering them about piecemeal in various paperback collections. And isn't it sad that every movie that's ever been made based on one of his stories, has [i]SUCKED[/i].[/quote]
