After everything I've heard about "The Call of Cthulu", it's one of the few Lovecraft stories that I haven't read. I have two collections of his, "The Road to Madness" and "Dreams of Terror and Death". There's another compendium released by the same company, but I'm hesitant to go get it, because I'm not in a rush to read his entire repertoire. I like leaving some stuff out there that I don't know, although I will read it eventually.
Some of my favorites are "At the Mountains of Madness", "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", "The Quest of Iranon", "Pickman's Model", and of course "The Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath". I like all the stories regarding Randolph Carter. I was even tempted to start a band named after him, and I did use some text from "At the Mountains of Madness" as lyrics in one of my band's songs.
