I really like The Picture in the House. Panorphaeon Send a noteboard - 13/04/2010 09:39:07 AM
I'm going to start reading some of Lovecraft's works beginning with "The Call of Cthulhu." Mainly I'm reading because of the Metallica song "The Thing That Should Not Be." I was just wondering what stories/books of his are suggested by everyone here who's read his works. Thanks.


It's very short, but subtle and, as somebody else says above, creepy as hell.

Colour Out of Space is really good, too. Another favorite is Shadow Over Innsmouth.

Read, at some point, "The Colour out of Space." Creepy as hell. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/04/2010 11:36:29 AM 228 Views
There are a number of classic H.P. Lovecraft short stories Tom - 11/04/2010 03:38:28 PM 554 Views

Sounds like a good idea. j-whitt987 - 11/04/2010 07:48:38 PM 550 Views
"Arkham" is a fictional city created by Lovecraft. It's where Arkham Asylum gets it's name. lord-of-shadow - 12/04/2010 05:27:16 PM 546 Views
Hmmm. Interesting. What story is that from? j-whitt987 - 14/04/2010 02:55:17 AM 538 Views
Almost all of them. *NM* Tom - 14/04/2010 03:02:17 AM 221 Views
Ever hear of the game "Arkham Horror"? Tom is right - it features at least a bit in all the stories RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/04/2010 03:18:21 PM 636 Views
The Library of America collection is probably the best "popular" one Larry - 12/04/2010 07:18:32 PM 553 Views

Are any of these stories considered series that I need to read in any particular order? *NM* j-whitt987 - 14/04/2010 03:05:43 AM 226 Views
I read an anthology, and overall, my impression was that each story is a standalone RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/04/2010 03:16:54 PM 614 Views
