Months without posting a journal article, and THIS is what I write about?

Alright you Lovecraft experts (I know there's two or three of you)...

I have the need to read up on the deity/entity/THING known as Azathoth, and I'm trying to compile a reading list. According to this Wikipedia article (and Wikipedia is never wrong) some of the stories mentioning or alluding to Azathoth include:

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, H. P. Lovecraft
The Whisperer in Darkness, HPL
The Dreams in the Witch House, HPL
The Thing on the Doorstep, HPL
The Haunter of the Dark, HPL

Stories by other authors:
The Lurker at the Threshold, August Derleth and HPL
The Insects from Shaggai, Ramsey Campbell
The Snout in the Alcove, Gary Myers
The Last Night of Earth, Gary Myers
The Web, Gary Myers
The Sect of the Idiot, Thomas Ligotti
Nethescurial, Thomas Ligotti
Move Under Ground, Nick Mamatas

Anthology:
The Azathoth Cycle (including some of the stories above, and others)

Other influential works:
Vathek, William Thomas Beckford
The Gods of Pegana, Lord Dunsany
Time and the God, Lord Dunsany

So am I missing any important stories here?
