Are the non-Lovecraft Cthulhu Mythos writers worth reading? If so, which ones?

Forget these grown men writing what was the equivalent of Fan Fiction, the real question is what is up with Lovecraft's Jewish ex wife's work? Sonia Haft Greene Lovecraft Davis, he "revised and edited" her work.

Lumley and Campbell are pretty good. Of the original crowd probably Bloch and Derleth?

There are some recent ones that are pretty good, I think one was called "Cthulhu 2000."

he revised and edited a lot of people's work. probably more stuff he wrote got published under other people's names than his own in his lifetime.

Liked Derleth (he blends it more into his own mythology and rewrites a lot of lovecraft stories so kinda boring if lovecraft is fresh to you). Cthulhu 2000 has a few really good stories but a few stinkers so if you can stand poppy z brite fujo garbage maybe give it a try

Clark Ashton Smith obviously.

lumley looks interesting but i havent read. ashton has a very different flavor than lovecraft

smith, as people are saying. leiber too, but i'm not sure how many lovecraft stories he wrote (i've only read one story of his in a lovecraft vein, but it was of course very good).
