5. I've read a few of his stories

At The Mountains Of Madness, The Doom that Came To Sarnath, and The Dunwich Horror. I'm a fan and would eventually like to read his complete works. I like the horror/fantasy writers of that period just before and after the turn of the 20th century. My favorite, because of his exquisite English prose and atmospheric horror is M.R. James and I also like Edward Plunkett (aka Lord Dunsany) and Algernon Blackwood. Blackwood's story The Doll (turned into an episode of Night Gallery some years ago) is truly horrific.
