The Shuttered Room and Other Tales of Terror

H. P. Lovecraft & August Derleth

First published April 1971
Type Collection

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 1971 Beagle/Ballantine edition. The 1970 Panther edition has a different set of stories. While the 1971 Beagle/Ballantine edition's first printing used the same cover and title on the cover as the 1970 Panther edition its title page has "The Shuttered Room and Other Tales of Terror". Ballantine's second and later printings of their edition used a different cover artwork though continued to use "Horror" in the title on the cover and "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.
