Yeah Lovecraft!!!!!!
Through the darkness of future past
the magician longs to see
one chance out between two worlds
'Fire walk with me.'

I can't vote either, but I think I'd like to read Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories. I actually recently discovered Lovecraft and happened to pick that one up at work to flip through. I found the first page of the first story very engaging and I'd love to read and discuss his work. Though I don't care for gore or "horror" in the movies, I've always had a strange interest in the macabre in literature. I love Poe, so I'm sure I'd love...well, Lovecraft!

hmmmm I'm not familiar with Lovecraft so I'm not really which to vote for...

I've been meaning to pick up Lovecraft for a while, and it seems that the Road to Madness should be a good collection. The bad part about short story collections is that all three are sure to have some stories that you like better than others. It makes it kind of hard to choose.
Oh I've wanted to read Lovecraft! Okay, I am going to optimistically place my vote

At Project Gutenberg Australia you can find Lovecraft's complete short stories. Take a look!

I read only one book by Lovecraft called "Beyond The Wall of Sleep" and I liked it very much. I don't have a certain book in mind to read by him now, so I'll probably go with whatever you guys choose.
