I've got a book of his poetry - The Last Oblivion.

His story "The Seven Geases" and some others I have in some Mythos anthologies.

I would probably recommend Robert E. Howard's horror stories as a follow-up.

Yep, agreed. Not read Smith yet, but I knew of him... that's a writer I will have to eventually explore when I have a free moment.

It must be said, there were some good, solid writers in the Lovecraft Circle: Robert E. Howard (he and Lovecraft were very good friends, and Howard included Cthulhu Mythos elements into the Conan mythology), Henry Kuttner (and his wife C.L. Moore, who is tragically underrated), Robert Bloch (creator of Psycho and the inspiration for Lovecraft's "The Haunter of the Dark")... and there might be other notables I'm forgetting. I'd recommend practically any of that list.

Frank Belknap Long would round out the list. Probably HPL's best friend as well.
