I think 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' is a great first choice. It has an engaging plot and creepy atmosphere that really showcases Lovecraft's unique storytelling.

I'd recommend 'The Call of Cthulhu'. It's one of his most famous and sets the tone for his cosmic horror style.

You might want to start with 'At the Mountains of Madness'. It's a classic that showcases his vivid imagination and creepy world-building. Also, it gives a good introduction to his themes and concepts.

In my opinion, 'At the Mountains of Madness' is a great one. It has a great setting in Antarctica. The exploration part and then the discovery of the ancient, alien city and the things that lurk there. It really makes you think about how small and fragile human existence is compared to the vastness of time and the cosmos.
