Fawful, I did a search for Lovecraft on Project Gutenberg, (a reputable site with legal ebooks) but none of his titles came up there. But from the look of the huge number of sites that have copies of Lovecraft's work, I think it'd be a safe bet that his work is no longer copyright. But I'm no expert on this. Usually the copyright passes about fify years from the death of the author...or something like that. I'm not really sure. I think his books were published around 1920, so it's probably safe to say that Lovecraft's books are in the public domain. It can be a difficult area to know for sure. With the Peter Pan books by James Barrie I've heard the copyright is still held by a London Children's hospital.
