You really need to read Lovecrafts stories in order to make Lovecraft stories, because if you get the lore wrong, some people will be very upset with you. What is unique about Lovecraft stories, is that it's the lore, not the monsters, that's scary, and studying this lore is like studying physics. It's not something that you comprehend overnight.
...so if you won't read Lovecrafts own stories, don't attempt to make "chased by Lovecraft monsters" stories, because that will fail horribly.
I want to read Lovecraft stories, the problem is I don't have the ability to read one. I was, for example, trying to find "The Shub-Niggurath Cycle" to read online (at least a few of them). So far I haven't had much luck.

Until I read one, I plan to make my own story not based on a Lovecraft story.
Not written by Lovecraft. Here you can find the complete (if not complete, very extensive) collection of his short stories. Best thing you can do though is look for a "collected works" book because reading online, especially on that site, is quite painful. I have this huge 900 page tome of Lovecraft stories called "The Necronomicon - The Best Weird Tales of HP Lovecraft" that unfortunately I haven't even read half of (because I'm a lazy reader), however it is very well formatted with some great illustrations and a map of Arkham which is awesome. If you can find that one I highly recommend it.
Oh wow thank you! I never heard of this site. I will have to bookmark it and read some (as time permits).
