After reading The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, I picked up S. Petersen's Field guide to Lovecraftian Horrors.
A lot of fun with wonderful illustrations by Muzy, Gandzel, and Delepee.
The cover (with a Star Spawn of Cthulhu) and an Elder Thing:
Latest read (audio), Rattle of Bones (1929) & The Moon of Skulls (1930) by Robert E Howard from Savage Tales of Solomon Kane; a short story in (the Duchy of Wurttemberg's) Black Forest & a novella in Central Africa, feat. the vampire queen Nakari.
This is where the adventure is.
Latest read, The Man Who Was Made of Money (1992) by Avram Davidson from Borderlands 3; this tale of a spendthrift wife who drives her husband to penury & death to support her extravagances, is old fashioned by 1992--but her descent into self-delusion & madness is well-handled.
Latest read (audio), Skull in the Stars, Right Hand of Doom, & Red Shadows; three adventures from The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane.
My third reading in the last year but the first on audio. I love them, of course.
Interesting what you focus on with audio vs. printed.

Latest read (audio), Buddenbrooks (1901) by Thomas Mann; a multi-generational saga of a prosperous German merchant family & its fall from influence into ignominy & obscurity. A tale of pride, sloth, sanctimony, faith, education, hypocrisy, music, and death.
Artful yet approachable, always excellent.

Latest read, Evil Adored (1936) by Naguib Mahfouz, from Voices From the Other World; philosophical fable of ancient Egypt in which an aged wise man spreads community & selflessness to the ire of the professionals of virtue; magistrates & law enforcers--who lament their loss of importance.
Latest read, Pumpernickel (1951) by Ray Bradbury; A loaf of pumpernickel prompts a memory and a yearning for long-ago days & old friends, of promises to reach out--which, as is human nature, dissipate the next morning.
One of Bradbury's perceptive, nostalgic, non-genre stories.
