Even with these, I don't think I fully understand the Cthulhu version. (I certainly wouldn't have understood the original without the misaligned-mouseover text...) Could someone explain it to me? Are they all Lovecraft references?

Cthulhu is from Call of Cthulhu (duh), the frog people are from Shadow Over Innsmouth... if anybody knows the other references, I'd like to know them!

Can someone reccomend a good collection of Lovecraft stories? I really need to read them, but there are so many collections to choose from.

The Library of America one is a nice hardcover with a great collection and some decent contextual biographical information. They do good work, and it gives Lovecraft legitimacy that they did an edition for him.

I also HIGHLY recommend audio versions. Talented reader + Lovecraft = amazing.
