Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by Academy Award-winning director of The Shape of Water Guillermo del Toro Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro's favorites, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Ray Russell's short story "Sardonicus," considered by Stephen King to be "perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written," to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ted Klein, and Robert E. Howard. Featuring original cover art by Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, these stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere. The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories Howard Phillips Lovecraft's unique contribution to American literature was a melding of traditional supernaturalism (derived chiefly from Edgar Allan Poe) with the genre of science fiction that emerged in the early 1920s. The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories brings together a dozen of the master's tales--from his early short stories "Under the Pyramids" (originally ghostwritten for Harry Houdini) and "The Music of Erich Zann" (which Lovecraft ranked second among his own favorites) through his more fully developed works, "The Dunwich Horror," "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," and "At the Mountains of Madness." The book presents the definitive corrected texts of these works, along with Lovecraft critic and biographer S. T. Joshi's illuminating introduction and notes to each story.Binding Type: Hardcover

Surprisingly sturdy at 3¢ each, better than expected for a large 1,000-count bulk spoon box 🥄📦
📝 Summary
For about 3 cents per spoon, I expected these to be extremely flimsy. They are still disposable plastic spoons, but they are stronger than I expected and a very solid value for a 1,000-count box.
✅ Pros
• Very low cost per spoon.
• Stiffer than many bargain disposable spoons.
• Reinforced shape helps the handle resist bending.
• Useful for parties, lunches, quick meals, and everyday convenience.
• Serious value for the money if you use disposable utensils often.
⚠️ Cons
• Not as sturdy as metal utensils or thick premium plastic spoons.
• Still disposable, so the waste tradeoff is worth thinking about.
• Hard frozen foods may still need a little care.
🥄 Review
At this price per spoon, I expected these to feel like the cheapest, flimsiest spoons possible. They actually surprised me.
The design helps a lot. The handle has a shaped, reinforced feel, and the spoon does not bend as easily as many low-cost disposable spoons I have used. It is not metal-spoon sturdy, and it is not the same as a thick premium plastic spoon, but it is definitely better than I expected for the price.
For normal meals, snacks, lunches, parties, and quick cleanups, these are completely practical. They could even handle softer ice cream with a little effort, which is more than I can say for some thin disposable spoons that fold almost immediately.
The main selling point is the value. A 1,000-count box at this price makes sense if you want disposable spoons around the house or for gatherings. There is still the environmental side to consider, but from a convenience and cost standpoint, these are a strong buy.
💡 Quick tips
• Good for parties, lunch bags, office kitchens, crafts, and pet-food scooping.
• Keep some in a car, picnic bin, pantry, or emergency kit.
• For hard ice cream, let it soften slightly first.
🧑🍳 My take
I bought these expecting very basic spoons, but they are better than that. They are not fancy, but they are sturdy enough, useful, and priced very well for how many you get. I would buy them again.

Exactly why I expected
I ordered the Amazon Basics disposable white spoons primarily for the office. We have veteran events to inform and educate about veterans benefits. Funding is limited, so I try to save money where possible and these spoons were a great value! They come out to less than 3 cents each and they will last over a year. They are the same quality and feel of the plastic spoons we previously bought at the local grocery store, but due to the larger quantity it is a much better value.
I decided to break the big box down into gallon zip lock bags, which made storage easier in my case. This also allowed them to be easier transported and to track usage better. We previously would buy just enough for each event, but that was a hassle with the higher costs and the trips to the grocery store. They are sturdy and hold up to use in thick dips. I would recommend these for anyone trying to save som money and spend less trips to the grocery store.

Great Bulk Pack of Disposable Spoons for Everyday Use
The Amazon Basics Disposable Everyday White Spoons are a very practical and affordable option for parties, offices, events, break rooms, or everyday household use. The large 1000-count pack is especially convenient because it lasts a long time and helps reduce the need for constant restocking.
The spoons are lightweight but still sturdy enough for most everyday foods like cereal, yogurt, desserts, soups, and side dishes. They don’t feel overly flimsy for normal use, which is important for disposable utensils.
I also like the clean white design because it works well for casual gatherings, parties, school events, picnics, and office lunches. Having such a large quantity on hand is very helpful for busy households or larger events.
The spoons are individually easy to grab and separate from the bulk packaging, making storage and use simple and convenient.
Overall, this is a reliable and cost-effective bulk pack of disposable spoons that works well for everyday meals, gatherings, and large events.

Bulk spoons finally broke my bad habit
We used to grab those little 20 packs from the grocery store every couple weeks and it felt like I was always running out at the worst time. When I saw this giant box I got pretty stoked and pulled the trigger right away.
They are exactly what you would expect from basic disposable spoons. Solid enough for everyday stuff like yogurt, ice cream, or takeout without bending too much. Nothing fancy but they get the job done every time. At about three cents each it feels like a much smarter way to buy them.
Now that we have a thousand of them sitting in the pantry I catch myself using them way more often instead of washing silverware for small snacks. This box should easily last us a couple years and I am already glad I do not have to make those annoying little trips anymore.

BIG box of spoons
This is one big box of white plastic spoons. Probably more than you need for home use. I’ll probably end up donating most of these to my kid’s school for the teachers lounge. The spoons are not packaged in smaller boxes or bags inside. The quality is pretty good for “everyday” spoons. Compared to the spoons I get at my local grocery store which feel more like premium plastic ware, these are smaller and made of a softer plastic. I wouldn’t call them flimsy, but they are definitely not as sturdy as the other spoons. As far as value goes, I don’t think you can find a better deal for bulk plastic spoons (currently about $30 for 1000)
