I've been getting into lovecraft recently and I've been following the flowchart posted in the wiki, pic related and I don't know where to go when I'm done with it, in should I just pick out whatever other stories of his whose name interests me or is there still a certain path I should take?

Also lovecraft thread I guess

DON'T read them all at once, you'll quickly be saturated as his writing overlaps quite a bit (pic related)

Instead go and read "The Weird "by VandeMeer, a collection of "weird" horror stories from before, during, and long after Lovecraft with about 1100 pages, that should give you many authors to start

And have a look at Ligotti and Barron Laird
I've recommended it on /lit/ before but it didn't pick up... libgen has an epub

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

Yeah. Just don't forget that The Dream Quest of Kadath-The Silver Key-Through the Gates of the Silver Key form a trilogy.

Thank you very much

Are there any others that have an order to be read in besides those ones?
