Lovecraft is such a huge influence for today's horror narrative (which in my opinion is just another flavor of fantasy), so maybe you can't perceive how original he was in his time. Moreover, I think you should read more of his work before passing judgment. I recommend you the oniric adventures of his alter ego, Randolph Carter ("The dream quest of unknown Kadath) and several of his short stories, like "The color from outer space", and "In the mountains of madness".
