Not limited to just a list. Feel free to review, critique, and/or discuss any of H.P. Lovecraft's stories. Share any information you may have in regards.
If you haven't heard/read any of his stories,
H.P. Lovecraft is known for his cosmic horror, the insignificance and fragility of man in such a vast universe. His settings tend to revolve around early 1900s New England yet contain much that is fantastical, dream-induced and unspeakably horrific.
They do lean on the Sci-Fi, Horror, Supernatural element.
I would recommend any of his collections. Be wary as some share a few of the same stories. I personally own two mass markets that are absolutely worth every penny, Waking Up Screaming and Shadows of Death. Don't be thrown off by the titles.

One thing that I find ironic about his writing is though I see him as descriptively brilliant he will fall back on words or phrases such as "unspeakable", "indescribable", "futile to try to describe". In retrospect, perhaps he likes to allow his readers to fill in the blank with their own imagination, fears, dreams, etc.
