I have a huge Lovecraft collection. I have all his published works. I had to buy several books that had the same stories but one or two so I could get every one. Some people find the language a bit antiquated but I think that adds to the feel and he is a master at atmosphere. I really liked Shadow Over Innsmouth as well. I also liked At the Mountains of Madness, The Lurking Fear, The Color Out of Space, Pickman's Model and the Call of Cthulu. I think reading Lovecraft adds so much to the horror experience in general because many authors and screenwriters have used his ideas as a basis for their own.
