There's a lot of threads asking the question of where to start with Lovecraft when reading for the first time (including one of mine I think way back). But how about approaching his stories again for the second time?
Which of his stories offer most to the reader on second (or subsequent) readings?
I read the three Penguin collections between 2006 and 2009 and since then I haven't really gone back to his work. I have re-read "Rats in the Walls" and ""Nyarlathotep" a while back and have just started "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" again. I am tempted to just go back to my favourites but are there any in particular that reward a re-read?
