his work is in the public domain and you can read it all at:

http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/

or download pdf torrents of his stuff if you want to print it off (really the only way to find and read some of his less popular stuff)

If your new to him though buying an anthology of his stories will probably be best though as it'll have the core good ones which are really all the ones you need unless you want to read everything he's written or really get into him.

Your will is no longer your own.

Start with The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories edited by S.T. Joshi.

Notes are pretty fun and informative too.

Loved his concepts, hate his writing style.
