Re-reading H. P. Lovecraft

I started re-reading the stories of H. P. Lovecraft. And like the first time, I'm impressed by the cosmos he created. Lovecraft's fiction sometimes is so concise, it's no wonder, people started thinking that part of it was real. Take for example the fictional Necronomicon. If you are into fantasy and horror fiction, you will most likely have read about it, since numerous writers mentioned it. The same holds for the monsters, Lovecraft created. They appear, for example, in the recent movie "Hell Boy". And even the Flying Spaghetti Monster seems like inspired by Lovecraft ;-).
