Actually, I didn't mean either.  Lovecraft was an author of many 
styles. Unfortunately, the one he's most commonly associated with 
in the public eye is the...well...the only words that come to 
mind is "shapeless horror".  He was able to write in a way to 
specifically create a feeling of dread.

When he was trying to write like his idol (who's name escapes me 
at this moment) he tends to slip into more of a mythological bent.

Robert W. Chambers is the man you seek. Lovecraft wrote several 
homages to Chambers and his work in his horror stories, and admitted 
very openly how much he admired the man. Chambers wrote "The King in 
Yellow," one of the first 'cosmic horror' stories. You can read it 
online; since it was first published in 1895, it has become public 
domain.
