H. P. Lovecraft's Commonplace Book

I'm not sure the exact source of this, but I ran across it the other day and thought it might be of interest.  It seems to cover approximately 1918 - 1935, and is essentially a list of brief story ideas or concepts that Lovecraft wrote down. 

H. P. Lovecraft's Commonplace Book - Bruce Sterling
Excerpt:

159 Certain kind of deep-toned stately music of the style of the 1870’s or 1880’s recalls certain visions of that period—gas-litten parlours of the dead, moonlight on old floors, decaying business streets with gas lamps, etc.—under terrible circumstances.


[I am still busy with finals, by the way, but figured I'd drop by for five minutes to post some content.]
