I adore the Dream Cycle, though in my case that's because I love dark fantasy. They're perfect for that mythopoeic, exploratory, madness-and-adventure sort of feeling.

My favourite Lovecraft story, though, is The Terrible Old Man, which goes all the way down in scale to a, well, terrible old man. Who you absolutely should not rob. Because you're in a Lovecraft story, and he's a creepy old man with a house full of eerie pendulum bottles that he talks to, who pays for groceries with gold coins and yet somehow has never been robbed before. Danger, Will Robinson! In a similar vein, both to this and Pickman's, the Music of Erich Zann is also quite good.

I think Lovecraft is better at the more extreme ends of the scale. All the way down with your Pickmans and Zanns, or all the way up with Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth, the vast mindless eldritch forces shaping the universe. It's in the middle, when you're dealing with Great Old Ones and Deep Ones and Mi-Go (and, admittedly, Nyarlathotep) that he gets a bit 'blunt evil eldritch force that wants to kill and/or corrupt you'.
