Lovecraft's entire fictional oeuvre (save for a few scattered oddities such as "Some Reminiscences of Dr. Samuel Johnson") are available in three trade pb collections: The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories, The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories, The Dreams in the Witch House and Other Weird Stories (all available from Penguin), and The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions (available from Del Rey).

No, he wasn't a contemporary of Poe, though he was quite influenced by him. Poe died in 1849, whereas Lovecraft was born in 1890 and died in 1937....
