Lovecraft is just one of those authors that all literature students know are pretty trash (because you've had to extensively read him, along with a bunch of other, better stuff), but is very popular with the mainstream because people haven't actually read a word of Lovecraft, they just like Ctuluhu stuff. As my american literature teacher says: if you want to read a Lovecraft story, pick one that wasn't written by Lovecraft
