The man was literally the face of the World Fantasy Award for years until the whole racism thing blew up and everyone is PC now. He shaped popular culture like no Light Novel author ever has or ever will. His characters and mythos are ingrained into modern horror and he has a unique and instantly recognizable writing style. He invent cosmic horror and pioneered ideas such a deep time.

There are many MANY valid complaints about Lovecraft from purple prose to too many "unknowable horrors", however "mediocre" is not a word that can be used to describe Lovecraft. Get your head out of panty sniffing light novels and read something with value for a change.
