The Shunned House:
Whipple Edition

Edited by N. R. Jenzen-Jones, Sean Branney, and Andrew Leman

From the Publisher’s Website

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of H.P. Lovecraft’s classic tale of gothic horror, The Shunned House, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society and Helios House Press are delighted to present an ultra-deluxe edition of the work. This boxed set represents a beautiful homage to an important historical, could-have-been edition of the story.

Our first release from the Miskatonic Rare Book Room, this luxury edition includes:

  • A facsimile of the original, uncut sheets for The Shunned House (as printed by W. Paul Cook’s Recluse Press) printed on luxurious laid paper and held in a replica of a very special presentation case comprised of a tri-fold inner folder nested inside a clamshell box;
  • A second clamshell box holding a pamphlet-bound reading copy of The Shunned House in the style of the popular Miskatonic Literary Society editions as well as a few extra goodies; and
  • A hardcover volume containing a copy of Night-black Deeds, a centenary edition of The Shunned House annotated by Sean Branney & Andrew Leman of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society and N.R. Jenzen-Jones of Helios House Press, plus original commentary reflecting on the tale prepared by leading Lovecraftian scholars.

Both boxes and the hardcover volume are presented in bookcloth with gold foil and leather spine labels, and are nestled inside a slipcase with gold foil accents. The pamphlet-bound booklet is printed on premium paper with letterpress details on the covers.
