Meyrink basically outdid Lovecraft in his own genre, even if you don't actually buy into mysticism in reality.

I've read all of his fiction and some of his non-fiction. I even have a black cat... Too bad I'm not an eccentric writer but a serial shitposter.

Peak comfy.

For me, the narrator finding some item or book which leads to the story unfolding is a comfy plot structure. For example in The Shadow Over Innsmouth, the protagonist sees the strange tiara in a corner cupboard at the historical society, and its design foreshadows all the weird shit he will see when eventually visiting Innsmouth in person.

Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Very rarely mentioned because it contains little overarching "Mythos". Novella length; long enough to be more fleshed out and satisfying but doesn't fall into the Stephen Marxist King territory of being padded out by 100%.

for me, it's At the Mountains of Madness
it's a testament to his ability as a conceptualist and as a suspense-builder that the story (as most other great Lovecraft stories) suffers from stylistic and pacing problems while still being totally enchanting
