He was also quite skilled with poetry. Check this out:
XXI. Nyarlathotep
And at the last from inner Egypt came
The strange dark One to whom the fellahs bowed;
Silent and lean and cryptically proud,
And wrapped in fabrics red as sunset flame.
Throngs pressed around, frantic for his commands,
But leaving, could not tell what they had heard;
While through the nations spread the awestruck word
That wild beasts followed him and licked his hands.
Soon from the sea a noxious birth began;
Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold;
The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled
Down on the quaking citadels of man.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play,
The idiot Chaos blew Earth's dust away.

Thanks for this link Supervike - downloaded and now on my Kindle ready to take to New York and Vegas, although I think Game of Thrones and Journey to the West are all I will attempt to tackle.......

Dog Face Boy in America!!
Been looking forward to it for ages mate hehehe. Last time I was in NY it was awful weather so I missed out on Central Park and Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty was closed apart from the island as it wan't long after the world trade center.
Any local events or decent places around times square going on I would appreciate a heads up, drop me a PM - dont want to derail this thread of course!
Getting back to cthulu check out Miss Monster on deviant art here, she makes cthulu bits and pieces.....

To go with Dedwrekka's suggestions i would add "The Color out of Space" as well. They would give you a good feel for the non-Chtulhu type of writing.
For the more traditional Cthulhu Mythos stuff, I would start with "The Call of Cthulhu", "In the Mountains of Madness", "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", and "The Dunwich Horror". Although CoC is the classic and introduces my favorite monster ; ) I think that Mountains and Dunwich are better told stories.
For his Weird Fiction, I would find a book that has the entire Dream Cycle in story order, not publishing order. Like this one. The Dream Cycle stuff is still some of my favorites. : )
