Who Goes There by John W. Campbell inspired the thing and goes a similar way to the movie. If you haven't seen it, an antarctic research crew carves out an ancient alien specimen from the ice and take it back to camp. The researchers set out to thaw the alien but things get ugly very quickly when they discover that the alien is still very much alive and is mimicking one of the crew...
There isn't a thick prose like lovecraft is famous for, it's actually very easy to read, and does a better job at setting the mood than John carpenter's adaptation. It has pretty strong elements of lovecraft's fiction but I wouldn't call it strictly lovecraftian.

Also if this thread doesn't take off you should lurk more. This question is always getting asked, Lovecraft is the greatest modern influence on horror and is very popular with the "Geeks" if you catch my feeling :^)

Have you read Howard's Solomon Kane stuff?

Have you read At the Mountains of Madness? Or Charles Dexter Ward? They're both quite long.

there's a story called "A Colder War" in Charles Stross' collection "Toast". it was a good mix of Lovecraft and modern technological warfare. i thought it was pretty fucking chilling.

Check out Laird Barron and John Langan if you're interested in modern weird fiction.

There's an extended Universe a fan works, some of it professionally published. How could you complain about being out of Lovecraft material?

China Miéville's Perdido Street Station has a fetid atmosphere, weird creatures and ornate language, if those are what you're after.
