I am in a similar situation with many of Lovecraft's stories. I find some of his writing overly florrid and hyterical in tone.

I do however enjoy the whole Cthulhu Mythos he created and the writers who played in the "Mythos Garden", so I read his work from time to time.

I also, especially like "Clarke Ashton Smith", "Robert E Howard", "Frank Belknap Long", "August Derleth" and "Ramsay Campbell", all of whom have written 'Mythos' stories.
