The Music of Erich Zann is my favourite Lovecraft story. I agree that he probably isn't as scary to us modern audiences as he might have been, but by far my favourite thing about him is his prose, and when his eccentric writing style comes together perfectly with the insanity of what he's writing it all clicks together and gives me chills. The Music of Erich Zann does just that!

I actually don't care for Lovecraft's mythology at all and I get really annoyed by nerds who equate Lovecraft with Cthulhu because the non-Cthulhu, one-off stuff is probably his strongest writing. But maybe that's just because I'm so tainted by Derleth's 'Cthulhu Mythos' and think it's a horrible bastardisation of what I liked about Lovecraft.
