The Colour Out of Space: Tales of Cosmic Horror by Lovecraft, Blackwood, Machen, Poe, and Other Masters of the Weird (New York Review Books Classics) - Softcover
Synopsis
"The true weird tale has something more than a secret murder, bloody bones, or a sheeted form clanking chains. An atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; a hint of that most terrible conception of the human brain—a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space." —H. P. Lovecraft
This new collection features some of the greatest masters of extreme terror, among them Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Bram Stoker, and Henry James, and includes such classic works as Arthur Machen's "The White People," Algernon Blackwood's "The Willows," and of course Lovecraft's own weird and hideous "The Colour Out of Space."
Contents:
Edgar Allan Poe, "MS. Found in a Bottle"
Bram Stoker, "The Squaw"

From Publishers Weekly
The Colour Out of Space: Tales of Cosmic Horror, selected by D. Thin, collects a dozen otherworldly stories by authors ranging from Edgar Allan Poe ("MS. Found in a Bottle") to H.P. Lovecraft (the title tale). This choice anthology should help persuade skeptical mainstream readers that some horror fiction merits the label of "literature."

Review
"This new anthology...presents, for perhaps the first time since 1927, the Lovecraftian tradition as Lovecraft saw it." -- Paul Lafarge, The Village Voice
