H P Lovecraft is overrated and excruciatingly boring to read. Why has he been lauded so much? Could someone please recommend me a non-pretentious and actually good horror author?

You know what I realized? Cultists in the Azathoth Mythos are basically cargo cultists. They're just latching onto something that seems to be so far above them simply via that fact. They don't understand it, so they revere it. They can't comprehend its true nature, so they worship it.

Savages.

The cultists also tend to be nonwhite.

You know what he did brilliantly? The Cluthuhlu/Necronomicon Mythos. He actually encouraged other writers of his time to use it as well in order to give it legitimacy. Can you imagine a writer today (or of any time) to co-opt an original idea in this way? What a great literary community they had. And it worked. To this day there are people who think the Necronomicon was a real book.
