I "accidentally" bought the collected works of Lovecraft the other night for my kindle. It cost me less than two quid, so I'd say it's a fair deal. In all honesty I bought it just for one of his short stories - Celephaïs.
If you haven't read this particular gem, or just haven't read any Lovecraft, I seriously suggest you do. It's hands down my favourite of his works (followed by The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath) and it is simply beautiful.
It is about Kuranes, a man who found a magnificent city called Celephaïs as a child in his dreams, and now, forty years later he's managed to find his way back to the city he once ruled as an adult. I won't tell any more than that, because you should go and read it for yourself!
Go on, go read it!
