Yuumeno Kyusaku wrote a great horror book called Dogra Magra has some Lovecraft style.
eg. the protagonist goes to a mental asylum and goes progressively insane.
There aren't any decent English translations which is a shame.

He was a civilian at the time, so he didn't see frontline combat. It's about wartime poverty, censorship, the effect of war on Japan's social relationships, the duty of one to speak the truth in the face of danger, even if just to himself, the political mood in Japan at the time, etc. Cool stuff.
