Because the Net is Full of Research Assistants

Does anyone have easy access to any of the following (I have a list of quotations to track which I'll then offload onto you...)

Algernon Blackwood, "The Willows", perhaps The Willows: And Other
Queer Tales (1934) but any decent edition would do (a Penguin say) barring first edns

William Hope Hodgson, The House on the Borderland (1908) or later edition with Ch. 18.

H.P. Lovecraft (1995) Miscellaneous Writings, ed. S.T. Joshi, Sauk City, WI: Arkham House.

H.P. Lovecraft (1999) The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories, Penguin Classics (I have two of the three quotes pegged in this but can't locate third)

Thanks in advance...

And if anyone recognises Clute's phrase "Pre-Aftermath fiction" (I don't have his book on horror) let me know a source

If you're looking specifically for the text of The Call of Cthulhu then you can find it online - Lovecraft's works are now out of copyright.

I have all of these texts electronically, thanks; I just want page references from paper versions. If only because (Lovecraft 1934) cannot possibly link to a webpage. (In fact the URL I have didn't initally work - but sprang into life ten seconds after the third attempt to paste in an address.

(In fat using google I've managed to track down three or four page references)

Yes to Lovecraft Misc writings, Call of Cthulhu Penguin; I have the Hodgson in the fantasy masterworks, if that's any good, and i while i suspect you don't want any old anthology copy of 'Willows' I think I have an ultra-cheapo Dover Blackwood collection somewhere. Any good?

You wouldn't be doing a weird fiction chapter would you?

When I've run out of Space, yes... Switches to alternate communication medium and ponders if that's Facebook or email.

See ya on the other side

(Do you know about the Gresham College thing in May, by the way?)
