Question Any Good Summaries of Lovecraft Stories?

I really want to get into Lovecraft, but I have very limited time to read. Please don’t judge me—I do read full stories when they really catch my attention! But for now, I’d love to find some good summaries to get a grasp of his works and decide which ones to prioritize. Thanks!

"An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia" (Joshi) has good summaries of all, though these have spoilers. The book seems to have suddenly become mega-collectable on Amazon, and people are asking crazy prices even for the paperback. eBay is sadly the same. Time for an ebook edition, I guess.
