I have heard much of H.P. Lovecraft, especially from Xev, but I still do not know about the books written by said person. Anyone care to fill me in? Thanks.

From me? Noooo!

H.P Lovecraft wrote horror short stories and novels in the 20s and 30s, mostly. His most famous are 'Mountains of Madness', 'Call of Cthulhu', 'Dream Quest of Unknown Kadith'.

Good books, IMAO he was one of the greatest horror writers ever - better than Poe, and certainly better than King.
