This fellow's works have largely escaped my notice over the years.. But you can't explore comics/sci-fi/fantasy/horror culture message boards without somebody referencing him in some way or another. Obviously he's a pulp-era pioneer.. So he's generally regarded as a big deal in horror fiction? Anyone read his books/novellas? What contemporary works (prose, tv, film) are assumed to be influenced by him?
