This collection didn't grab me the way that Call of Cthulhu & Other Weird Stories did. Mountains of Madness is a classic, of course, and Dunwich Horror is fun--but they didn't particularly capture me as such; it was more that I wanted to take the worldbuilding he'd done and make plots with it.

Imagine the song 'Lola,' but it's the most insane garbage you've ever heard

This was a great collection. My favourites were the similarly-themed "Case of Charles Dexter Ward" and "The Thing on the Doorstep." The later, as well as having one of Lovecraft's only female characters, actually brought on the sense of dread that Lovecraft's stories were meant to, because, although I saw it coming, the actual story hadn't been spoiled for me before I read it. Another strong story was "Beyond the Wall of Sleep" which presages my favourite of his stories, "The Shadow Out of Time".
There were a number of other minor stories in the collection, some from his Dunsany style, and some other oddballs included, it seemed, out of historical interest, such as "Under the Pyramids" which he ghostwrote for Houdini.

Eh, not for me I guess. Writing style was really hard to get into and full of irrelevant details. Didn't finish.

A good introduction to the works of HP Lovecraft. Pretty much a gateway drug to get you to read the rest of his works. My favorites from this include: The Dunwich Horror, At the Mountains of Madness and The Thing on the doorstep

My god I finally finished this book. Loved it, At the Mountains of Madness is too long (and draggy); absolutely loved The Thing on the Doorstep, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and The Tomb.
