You should definetely pick up some Lovecraft...IMO, there isn't a real language barrier with his stuff - mostly, anyhow. I really enjoyed his "In the Mountains of Madness" (I think it's called) and certain other of his works. Be warned though, there is some popular culture you'll suddenly know is basing their stuff on Lovecraft :p
For me, as for many others, the phone in 1408 with its SIX, this is SIX and all that jazz is just horrifying.
There are certain other SK books such as Pet Sematary which I have re-read maybe 1 or 2 times since my original reading of it, since the whole damn thing just freaks me out.
