To start, I have never read any of H.P. Lovecrafts works, I have only seen some of the movies based off oAf them. Recently, however, I picked up H.P. Lovecraft: The Fiction, a collection of virtually all his stories.
Now, as a little fun event, mostly for myself, I'll be reading, in the order the stories are presented, this book. After completeing each story, I intend to post up my review of it before starting with the next one.
Here is a list of all stories written here.
1. The Beast in the Cave
2. The Alchemist
3. The Tomb
4. Dagon
5. A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson
6. Polaris
7. Beyond the Wall of Sleep
8. Memory
9. Old Bugs
10. The Transition of Juan Romero
11. The White Ship
12. The Street
13. The Doom That Came to Sarnath
14. The Statement of Randolph Carter
15. The Terrible Old Man
16. The Tree
17. The Cats of Ulthar
18. The Temple
19. Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family
20. Celephais
21. From Beyond
22. Nyarlathotep
23. The Picture in the House
24. Ex Oblivione
25. Sweet Ermangarde
27. The Nameless City
28. The Quest of Ironan
29. The Moon-Bog
30. The Outsider
31. The Other Gods
32. The Music of Erich Zann

44. The Horror at Red Hook
45. He
46. In the Vault
47. Cool Air
48. Call of Cthullu
49. Pickman's Model
40. The Silver Key
41. The Strange High House in the Mist

49. The Dunwich Horror
50. The Whisperer of Darkness.
I'll finish typing in the list later.
Essentially, you can use this thread to talk about Lovecraft in General, or for specific stories of his, though I'd prefer you keep to the current story I won't limit you. Just be sure to use spoiler tags, and be sure to make it known what story you are referring too. (I remember reading an FF VII thread, and out of no where was a spoiler about XII, which I'd just started playing. :p)
Anyone interested in following along, I urge you to do so, as it would be fun to discuss each story with someone who has it fresh in their minds.
Anyway, I shall begin with the first book, The Beast in the Cave.
