Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

why does this feel weirdly obsessive
who is going around his apartment scanning all his stuff, they liked the book so much they had to get their hands on the draft?
They probably had his original draft tossed in a box somewhere for a while, then some guy decided to scan it all for a fancy edition.
If you have to ask "why?", usually "because money" is a good place to start.
It seems like the publisher specializes in printing expensive limited-run manuscripts. There's obviously a business component, but there are also better ways to make a buck as a publisher so I'm not gonna say this is just entirely greed
