Like or loathe, Lovecraft is one of the horror masters. He makes a lot of writing "mistakes", so he'd never get published today (sad but most likely true). However, there is no one better at getting the ol' dread going than the late H.P.
For what I still think is his most accessible short story, try "Pickman's Model". No need to have read any other Lovecraft to get it and it's a good example, both of his style and how to scare someone without actually showing anything horrible happening "on screen".
