I think I must have read just about everything HPL ever wrote. As my dad had been a BIG Lovecraft fan, I guess you could say I was given Cthulhu with my "father's" milk, and have been obsessed ever since. I even have a cat named Lovecraft!

Too bad the Necronomicon is only a Lovecraftian invention.

Careful, or something slimy with tentacles will fly to your window tonight carrying the Necronomican, expecting you to live up to your end of the deal!

the two that freaked me out the most were Rats in the Wall (you'd WISH that was only about rats...) and At the Mountains of Madness.

mountains of madness was one fo my favorites, a bit long, but it didn't leave me freaked out like Rats in the wall, until the very last, not paragraph, sentience... the mans timing in f*****g with his reader is almost sadistic, I love it!

I enjoyed those two, too. I also very much liked The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and Dreams In The Witch House. My very favorite Lovecraft story might just be Nyarlothotep.
