A Confession

[zomboy]

I have never read a complete work by H.P. Lovecraft, only portions of one thing or another when lounging around at other peoples homes. I have decided to remedy this, and I am looking for a good place to start. Does anyone have any particular favorites? Are there any real crapfests one might do best to avoid

Absolutly, are you living around boston these days, or would you have to mail it? If you need to mail it, shoot me an email on either of my gmail accounts (wyattbirch@ or captaincradlerobber@) and I'll send you my address.
How have you been btw?

Mhm - there's a collection of shorts called "The Shuttered Room and other stories" (or something very close to that at any rate). The stories are short enough to read in a sitting, but will still keep you up listening for Lilliputian frog people sneaking under the door.

Wait, you mean waiting for tiny frog people isn't a normal evening activity..... I think my shrink lied to me, that rotting bastard, if he wasn't a figment of my imagination, I would totally fire him. I think I might anyway.

Call of Cthulhu, Shadow Over Innsmouth, and At The Mountains of Madness are probably three of my favorite Lovecraft pieces. There are dozens of softcover collections but I don't think any one volume has all of those stories in it, but you should be able to find one or two them under the same cover.
