I loved Underworld most, of his stuff. It's like he took all the partially-formed ideas of his other works and built them into a unifying whole. Not nearly as wank as many other long-books I've read (see also: Infinite Jest).

I'm almost finished Cistern Tawdry by Eckhard Gerdes. Wow. I've almost actually gotten through a Gerdes novel and understood more than half of it.
You can't begin to understand how good that feels.
Was it good? I..uh...think so? only 4 more to go!

Well. What have you read?
The Call of Cthulhu is a must. There is also a decent filmatic adaption made in 2006 or so. A silent film in black and white, very good.
The dreams in the witch house is also very good. And there is also a very good film based on this short story. One of the best filmatic adaptions in my opinion.
Pickman's model. Very spooky.
The statement of Randolph Carter. Good one.
The Dunwich horror. Another one of his best works.
These are classics, but there are some lesser known works who are great too. I like most of his work, but there are a few exceptions.
