I don't see how Lovecraft is boring. And your comment about the Poe makes me think you have problems with Old English like the purple prose they had, which is bullshit because that's how everyone wrote at the time. Each sentence Lovecraft writes carries a vague or more pronounced air of horror; Lovecraft may not be the Original Gangster, there were other before him but he is Don Vito Corleone, he is the best.

And Lovecraft's story-lines are interesting to say the least: A man collapses during a lecture and wakes up with amnesia but he does the simplest tasks with diffuclty, like he learned to walk and talk from a book, while having an auro of creepiest around him. Or: A kid in a fucking dilapidated village being born as half a fucking alien animal and with a natural genius learning how to conjure masses of tentecles that will destroy the whole fucking world while a researcher and his team chant ancient rituals to bring the bitch back to where it came.

I don't what Lovecraft stories you read that feature a dog turning into a monster and eating a guys mother. The great thing about Lovecraft is how utterly small and inconsequential he makes us seem. The monsters in his stories cannot be killed not even harmed in a significant way, he makes our only hope the hope that we're too inconsequential for the monsters to notice us. I mean the only reasons the deep ones didn't destroy the world is because they didn't care enough to.
