I picked up "The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories", great stuff. I also got Thud! by Terry Pratchett, very funny :D

Pratchett's Discworld series is great, but it's really kind of weird to mention (brilliant!) comedic fantasy in the same thread as Lovecraft's horror. :confused:

Where do I start?

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories
The Dreams in the Witch House And Other Weird Stories
The Thing on the Doorstep And Other Weird Stories

These are supposedly the most complete collections of his stories. I believe he also wrote poetry but not sure if these books contain any of that.

I'm currently reading the 1st one I listed and just ordered the other 2 last night
