Horror novel recommendations...?

It's great literature, by any standard. You really wanna live in a world where people don't read Shakespeare, the Bible, or Stevenson anymore, just to name a few?

I couldn't agree more with this point.
 
While I admit it is great literature, and do love the man's work, from everything I've looked up, even by the standards of the time, Lovecraft was pretty racist. When I first heard about it, I also just assumed it was because of the time period he lived in, but after looking around, it seems that it's not the case.

HP Lovecraft was a xenophobe in the true sense of the word: the Other, whomever it was (another race, another gender, another nationality...) filled him with dread. And it's by feeding on these negative emotions that he imagined the horror his novels are so famous for. Those alien creatures, incomprehensible and malevolent who play with us like puppets come directly from the darkest corners of his fear. It is humanity's greatest achievement, to turn its most reprehensible thoughts and feelings into awesome works of art.
