It's not a series. H.P Lovecraft wrote short stories almost exclusively, partly because the only people that would publish him at the time were pulp magazines and partly because he believed that horror was best suited in short stories and very hard if not impossible to write in novel format. Although his short stories can be grouped around similar things and themes into what are loosely dubbed 'cycles' like the Dreamlands cycle there is no real order to them although some are better than others.
