Why did you get the idea you should start reading Lovecraft?
We have this thread seemingly every day and it's either one guy or some unseen force is herding people towards him.
What was it in your case?
At the Mountains of Madness and The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath are his best works.

Hahahaha. No.

Not him, but he posted an anime picture, and there's a bunch of mythos-inspired animu, like say, Demonbane. Or even parodies like Nyarlko.
Chiaki J. Konaka (the guy who wrote Lain, Ghost Hound and others) is also very much into Cthulhu, and even wrote a made-for-tv modern (at the time, because it was like 20 years ago) adaptation of Innsmouth.
I'm assuming that's where OP got it from.

Well I like reading stuff about uncanny concepts like the angels of evangelion to "lore" tier stories.
Also other terror-surreal (kudos to poe) works greenlited me to read lovercraft.
