If you want to sample one, Dead But Dreaming edited by Kevin Ross has some great stories.
If you want to try a single authored collection that's clearly Lovecraftian (without necessarily making direct references to the mythos) Thomas Ligotti's Songs of a Dead Dreamer/Grimscribe has some of the best horror writing I think I've ever read, period.

Yes, we’ve talked about this before right? The Yellow King and whatnot? I actually thought he was pre-Lovecraft... ? Or am I just confused because his stories hop around in Time a bit?
Hmm... I remember finding free — apparently public domain — writings from some author you recommended online, and reading with the intention of learning more about the inspiration behind the (still unbelievable) True Detective season 1 (what with the Yellow King and all).
Huh.
