I like Lovecraft but I have to say that after a while it gets repetitive with all his prose "unnameable, horror that no man would ever dare to etc..."

So now I decided to switch to William Hope. Is he good? I just got The Night Land, the premise seemed very interesting.
Fell free to suggest other good horror authors.

House On The Borederlands is a really good one by him. Has some of the most interesting and peculiar imagery I've ever read.

I've read shadow over innsmouth and was pretty unimpressed by it, am I too shallow to appreciate it or is it just one of his lesser works?
