You gotta give Lovecraft some credit. I don't mean for the Chthulhu mythos; that's fun but it goes beyond Lovecraft.
However, Lovecraft was unique in that the highest forms of terror he describes aren't simply an excess of the grotesque, but rather based on geometry. THAT'S pretty fucking cool.

Like him? Hate him? My opinion is best explained in saying this: In many ways, Lovecraft is a poor man's Borges.
