I got a book with his complete literature, recommendations? I liked Call of Cthulu, but I felt like Colour Outside of Space was better.
>>
If you liked Colour, try
>The Whisperer in Darkness
>The Haunter in the Dark
first

Then
>The Thing on the Doorstep
>The Dunwich Horror
>The Rats in the Walls

Then his longer stuff (Mountains of Madness) or his dream cycle stuff depending what you like

So many times I open up /lit/, and what I've just been reading is at the top. I must just be reading very popular authors. But it's getting weird.

I very recently went through the complete fiction again and rated the stories on a scale of zero to three stars, where zero is unremarkable and 3 is essential reading.

For ease, a list of the top picks (chronological):
- Dagon
- The Outsider
- The Rats in the Walls
- The Call of Cthulhu
- The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
- The Dunwich Horror
- The Whisperer in Darkness
- At the Mountains of Madness
- The Shadow over Innsmouth

If that's too many, just try Dunwich, Whisperer, and Innsmouth.

>the Night Ocean
The Night Ocean isn't his story. He wrote maybe 10% of it and the rest is R. H. Barlow. He says so himself in his letters and Joshi confirms it.
