Lovecraft's works
The Time Machine was written by another classic, allthough representative of genre science fiction, Herbert George Wells.

Re: H.P. Lovecraft
Lovecraft is awesome.
The first Lovecraft story I read was "Rats in the Walls", when I was twelve. It starts off slowly, but climaxes brilliantly. He has a talent for being able to turn potentially silly and ridiculous ideas into genuinely creepy and unsettling stories.
There's no doubt that the man had serious flaws as a writer, and as a person. (If you know anything about his life, however, it's somewhat amazing that he was ever mentally together enough to complete a manuscript.)
Equally, though, there's no doubt that he was and is massively influential in the horror genre. He is easily as important as King, Bloch, Romero or anyone in that genre you can name. His stories are still in publication today, despite their problems, and people still cite him as a primary influence.
I also can't resist giving a link to this hilarious musical adaption of his work.

Re: H.P. Lovecraft
I really want to read Lovecraft's work...just haven't gotten up the testicular fortitude to go looking for it...
It'll happen though, very soon...
