I started reading his works and while not badly written I find them uninspired and boring so far, in fact I stopped reading and felt no real desire to come back to it. OMG horrors beyond human imagination! It just gets repetitive after a while. Am I just ignorant?

Uninspired is definitely not the right word.

That would be inspiring though, not inspired

I strongly feel that the extending of and remixes of og lovecraft offer more than the creator's work itself. @laser is right, it's really... a product of it's time.
