I never cared for Lovecraft for fairly inconsequential reasons, but one of them was I just never thought the stories were scary. This and this anon's take:

hat the cosmos is actively malign, that mankind does not belong in it, and in particular, that the exercise of human reason leads ultimately to madness and oblivion.

neatly sums up exactly why I don't find his stories scary—I've been totally at peace with the fact that the universe is at best indifferent and at worst outright hostile towards humanity more or less my whole reading life.

Or, at least, this gives me a more robust reason for not liking his writing than just "meh." Thanks, OP and anon!
