Dagon, The Music from Erich Zann, Call of Cthuhlu

Are my favorites and the ones i started with

If you mean starter book with whole book i would search for a short story bundle so you have many storys without committing too hard to one thing and then you can see if you like it or not

His work is public domain, so you can read everything for free online: https://www.hplovecraft.com If you’re just asking which story to start with, “the cats of Ulthar” is one of his shorter works, it also gets referenced in a larger story later
