Lovecraft himself considered this story drivel. He wrote it for money, which he felt was an artistic compromise. Yet it is really a great story. It definitely has more of a pulpy style to it than his normal fare, but it's both exciting and creepy. It also includes "fast zombies" decades before the movie 28 Days Later!
If you like creepy, horrific, pulpy fun, you should definitely latch onto Herbert West Reanimator.
