Why do you enjoy the work of H.P. Lovecraft?

Personally, I love his antiquated formal prose, his lengthy floral sentences and his sober articulation of scenes and thoughts that would be hard to take seriously (e.g., the frog people of Innsmouth) if written by a less committed and single-minded writer.
