Seconding EB's recommendation for WHH's House on the Borderland for this kind of nonsense and also throwing in Arthur Machen - try The Great God Pan. M.R James wrote a lot of great stuff about stuffed-shirt academics digging up scary artifacts and regretting it when eldritch horrors come for them.
It's not quite 'Lovecraft style', but I think you might enjoy Alan Garner's stuff. His most recent book is Treacle Walker - it's short and pacey and I think if you gave it a go, you'd see why I thought of it all the same - it takes the Welsh countryside and defamiliarises it into something frightening. Starve Acre by Andrew Michael Hurley might interest you too.
