In Daniel Harms “The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia” Harms includes a pretty through bibliography with works that he picked through to write his text. Within this appendix he includes several authors that were before H.P. Lovecraft’s time, Lovecraft being born 1890, the following authors wouldn’t have been Lovecraft’s contemporaries.
There a few texts that were written during the time of Lovecraft’s writings, however the majority were written when Lovecraft was still a wee lad. I cannot say that I have read all that many of these titles and getting my hands on some of these titles is going to be bit of challenge.
Ambrose Bierce: “The Death of Halpin Trayser” (1893), “Haita the Shephard” (1893), “An Inhabitant of Carcosa” (1891). “The Man and the Snake” (1891).
Robert Chambers: “In the Court of the Dragon” (1895), “The Maker of Moons” (1895), “The Repairer of Reputations” (1895), “The Silent Land” (1896), “The Slayer of Souls” (1920). “The Yellow Sign” (1895).
Arthur Macken: “The Novel of the Black Seal” (1895), “The Great God Pan” (1894), “The White People” (1910)
Edgar Allen Poe: “The Narrative of A Gordon Pym of Nantucket” (1838), “Ulalume” (1847)
