The Shuttered Room and Other Tales of Horror

There are two different H. P. Lovecraft horror collections by August Derleth with The Shuttered Room and Other Tales of Horror on the front cover. This title record is for the 1970 Panther edition. The 1971 Beagle/Ballantine edition has a different set of stories and while its first printing used the same cover as the 1970 Panther edition its title page uses the word "Terror" rather than "Horror" in the title. Ballantine's second and later printings of their edition used a different cover artwork though continued to use "... Tales of Horror" on the cover and "... Tales of Terror" on the title page.

Contento1 lists the Ballantine edition as "... Tales of Horror", i.e. using the cover title, which helps complicate the issue.
