H P Lovecraft was a brilliant author. He failed with dialogues according to Stephen King with whom I agree. But he does give me goosebumps. I have read and reread many of his works. He has given brilliant writing advices too. I didn't know The Tomb was his first published story. By the way, if you haven't already read, you must try A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. I am sure you'll love it. Another spooky tale. :D
