Same as everyone else really: Shadow Over Innsmouth just because how it has been referenced it in many mediums. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, the Fishing Hamlet from Bloodborne DLC, Shadow over Immaterium...
I think I still have a link to a Lovercraft reading site that someone here once shared with me. Almost forgotten about it to be honest.

Does it just have stories by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, or does it have later author addons to the Cthulhu Mythos?
I was reading a collection of Lovecraft's stories until I got bored with one (or rather... came across Stephen King's "It" on a book store and decided to buy and read it) and stopped. I only read what I read once, so I think that my favorites, up until now, are "The Cats of Ulthar" and my absolute favorite until now is... one that I don't remember the name, but it's about a German submarine during WW1 that gets damaged and ends up descending to the bottom of the ocean and its crew members start going crazy one by one. You should read it, I don't want to spoil it to you. I loved, loved that one.
I've recently enjoyed The Doom that Came to Sarnath, and I am currently reading The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle, which is a retelling of "The Horror at Red Rock" from the viewpoint of an African American man. Very nicely written, though I've yet to finish it.
I'll have to check out the other stories mentioned!
I've always loved cosmic horror, and Lovecraft pretty much made the concept. I really like The Haunter in the Dark and The Hound, though Shadow Over Innsmouth was great too (to be fair, I was kinda biased towards that one; my first taste of Lovecraftian themes was the Oblivion quest inspired by the story)
