Lovecraft is awesome if you want some short stories. Call of Cthulhu, Colour out of Space, and Rats in the Walls area my personal favorites.
The Colour Out of Space is my favorite Lovecraft! I definitely need to reread some of his stuff; it’s been a while.
The last few years I've been reading a bunch of Lovecraft's earlier influences. Some of that has been very good. (Chambers, Blackwood, Machen, etc.) But the absolute standout has been Dunsany. If you like HPL's "Dream Quest" material, check out Dunsany's "Time and The Gods" and "Wonder Tales".
