What stories are included in that selection? If you're enjoying what you read in that you'll definitely want to see what you can find for full collections. Lovecraft is a lot like Poe, you can get all their work in one book for like 20 bucks at most places. Kudos on getting into him at such a young age, his language isn't exactly the most engaging of authors, very eloquent, but it does do a wonderful job at depicting a bleak and eerie world not dissimilar to our own, even after 80 years.

it includes:

The Tomb
Beyond the Wall of Sleep
The White Ship
The Temple
The Quest of Iranon
The Music of Erich Zann
Imprisoned with the Pharaohs aka Under the Pyramids
Pickman's Model
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
The Dunwich Horror
At the Mountains of Madness
The Thing on the Doorstep

There are two other volumes which i'm planning on getting after this.

His language is really complicated, but I have a dictionary at hand for words I don't understand. And I really like using those words in conversations and lyrics afterwards. I still need to check out Poe.
