  Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

  Is that Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath?

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  Touch the cow. Do it now.
  

  Lovecraft loved cats almost as much as he hated black people

  Yeah.
  
  Rats in the Walls is a very Poe-like story.

  Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  "The Rats in the Walls" might be my favourite Lovecraft story despite that detail. It is way, way more unsettling than a lot of his later work, perhaps because the writing feels more natural and the details accumulate more effectively.
