While I don't consider it the best of Poul's work, it's worth a read. He does a decent take on the problems of immortals in a mortal society, with more or less the same solution Heinlein used - leave the Earth and explore the stars.

And as for HP Lovecraft. His stories pale by our standards of today, but imagine how the readers of the day would have reacted.

Lovecraft also encouraged other writers to write tales set in his universe, and carried on a lively correspondence with many of them.
