The whisper in darkness is a pretty good and balanced Lovecraft work to start out with in my personal opinion. You have SciFi elements, minor cuthulu mythos stuff, very light racial elements, wonderfully building tension, and even a "frightingly ironic" bit where readers who are paying attention will realize something the MC doesn't which, if you're suitably engaged, will feel like a gut punch, and a lot of "lovecraft self inserting again" you'll need to get used to.
