    For those looking for the complete works of Lovecraft, they can be found free in multiple formats HERE.

    Just don't blame me when it destroys your sanity.

    I have this addiction to paper books. Have stacks of them. And more stacks. My kids call my home office "The Library". But in my head I know that digital is so much more efficient. I have a new ipod 5 that would fit half the Library of Congress. But I keep going back to physical books. Anyway, reading Lovecraft online was what made me have that thought. Maybe it's beginning to fracture my sanity...
    I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?

    If you prefer physical books (and I do as well), THIS is a great place to start.
    His complete solo works under his own name, affordably priced and decently bound.
    There are other collections of this he wrote with/for other writers, as well as a collection of his revisions of other's works (to the point of rewriting the stories), but
    they can come later.

    I've read and enjoyed a lot of his stuff, but if I ever get my hands on the guy who created 'Picathulhu', I'll be having a few strong words with him...(Plushy Lovecraftion style creatures! Seriously?!)

    I found him difficult to read, lost interest quickly... Audio book versions made a little easier...

    I started reading Lovecraft in high school . He tends to be a bit wordy but you get used to it . Modern horror owes all that is to him . Once you read a few stories & get into the mythos you'll see it , oh this bit from this movie , that from that book , ect. ect.
