Here's a good starter book. It opens with some good short stories like The Outsider and The Rats in the Walls (as compared to Dagon, which is pretty meh) then it moves on to The Call of Cthulhu, Colour Out of Space, The Dunwich Horror, Mountains of Madness, Innsmouth, and Shadow Out of Time. If you insist on making a flowchart then at least start out with something decent.

I'll pick up this book from the library tomorrow. The other nearby library had a bigger collection but it's already checked out.

I've been wanting to get into H.P. Lovecraft stuff, but he has so much that I don't know where to begin. I read the short story Dagon the other day. It seemed interesting, but not scary or anything. I feel like I owe it to myself as a self proclaimed writer to expose myself to his material. Does anyone have any suggestions?
