He can be a little wordy and assumes the reader is aware of the references he makes without explaining them. His best work is when he reels himself in.
My favorite story of his is The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.
Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

There's a popular misconception that he was a shut-in or a recluse who had difficulty relating to people. In actuality he traveled as much as he was able, was married and carried on many friendships. He never had a lot of money, so that limited what he was able to do. I think that, as well as the nerd culture sort of embracing him, gave rise to that notion.
The pop culture obsession with him has had some recent push back in the age of woke politics, because he was very honest about his feelings about racial groups and miscegenation.

Apparently his father died of syphilis. Maybe he had some kind of hang-up because of that. From Wikipedia:
"In April 1893, after a psychotic episode in a Chicago hotel, Winfield was committed to Butler Hospital in Providence. Though it is not clear who reported Winfield's prior behavior to the hospital, medical records indicate that he had been "doing and saying strange things at times" for a year before his commitment.[6] Winfield spent five years in Butler before dying in 1898. His death certificate listed the cause of death as general paresis, a term synonymous with late-stage syphilis.[7] Throughout his life, Lovecraft maintained that his father fell into a paralytic state, due to insomnia and being overworked, and remained that way until his death. It is unknown if Lovecraft was simply kept ignorant of his father's illness or if his later remarks were intentionally misleading.[6]"
