You needn’t think I’m crazy, Eliot-plenty of others have queerer prejudices than this. Why don’t you laugh at Oliver’s grandfather, who won’t ride in a motor? If I don’t like that damned subway, it’s my own business; and we got here more quickly anyhow in the taxi. We’d have had to walk up the hill

Pickman's Model is one of my favorite Lovecraft stories.

It's also one of the ones that connects directly by character into the grand sequence involving Randolph Carter, including "The Testament of Randolph Carter", The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, "The Silver Key," and "Through the Gate of the Silver Key" (the last one by E. Hoffman Price).
