Only the US copyright was checked. The MR library is life+70 compliant, and doesn't care about the US copyright status. That particular book, according to my notes, has the following authors:
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937)
Zealia Brown-Reed Bishop (1897-1968)
Anna Helen Crofts (1889-1975)
Winifred Virginia Jackson (a.k.a. Elizabeth Berkeley) (1876-1959)
Sonia Haft Greene Lovecraft Davis (1883-1972)
Edgar Hoffmann Price (1898-1988)
Duane Weldon Rimel (1915-1996)
Hazel Heald (1896-1961)
Kenneth J. Sterling (1920-1995)
Adolphe Danziger De Castro (1859-1959)

Henry St. Clair Whitehead (1882-1932)
Wilfred Blanch Talman (1904-1986)
Catherine Lucille Moore (1911-1987)
Abraham Grace Merritt (1884-1943)
Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936)

William Lumley (1880-1960)
Jack Chapman Miske (1920-2003)
Harry Houdini (1874-1926)
Although parts of it are already in public domain in life+70 countries (those with authors who died before 1951), the book still contains copyrighted material, until 2074 by current law.
