What are some Lovecraftian/Weird works in a modern (can also go as far back as Victorian) setting?

Dude, Lovecraft's game is overplayed by now. If you want some more just go to Algernon Blackwood. The Willows and The Wendigo have the amazing feeling of a natural world vast and dangerous developed by a man who loved to take hikes and go on adventures. There are some really well done moments where the woods become an infinite world, in which the protagonist is small and weak.

The house on the borderland by William Hodgson mixes and action-adventure tale with once again, the sense of the infinite to the human eye but ultimately doomed to die.

Ligotti's work is a really mixed bag. His Lovecraft fan fiction is bad but his dream and madness tales are really amazing. Check The night school, The red tower and The bungalow house.

From The King Yellow read The Repairer of Reputations. The dwarf character is really interesting and the atmosphere has a really weird vibe.

I agree, Blackwood and Machen did it originally, and I actually prefer their occultic world to Lovecraft's cold one. Both are just as weird and mysterious, but I find the strange ecstasy triggered by Machen's stories are much more effective than Lovecraft's, and I love Lovecraft.
