Here's how every Lovecraft story ends: "And then the monster appeared and it was so horrible that I lost my mind and couldn't possibly describe it in a way that pays off the previous 20 pages of overwrought prose."
I was in Paris ten years ago and turned on the TV in the hotel room. Besides "Cops" and "ER" dubbed into French, I came across a strange documentary that I eventually figured out was about Lovecraft entitled "Le Cas Howard Phillips Lovecraft." You can find it on Youtube. Kinda hypnotic.

Neil Gaiman talks about that in the piece. How Lovecraft’s characters just write and write till the horrible creature is worming his horned tentacles through the door...

There's a Clark Ashton Smith story called "The Double Shadow" that does a great job of that "writing up to the last minute" thing.
Smith is unjustly neglected, in my opinion.

As the stars align in Evil Augury
And the skies vomit ageless filth
Upon the fecund Earth below,
The Elder Gods groan in angst
Astrally voicing their hunger
for human souls.
From Ryleh he rises!
His Gate Keeper, Yog Sothoth
holds the portal ajar
Once again the Nameless Horror
walks the Dunwich Fields
Leaving a trail of psychic slime
and broken minds
in his wake.........
(Why yes Mrs. Two Lumps! I'd love for some coffee with my scones!)
