It's safe to say that Lovecraft owes a significant debt to Machen. The same story telling style but without the overwhelming archaic wording that makes Lovecraft tedious so often.
I am somewhat bored of this style as I've been making my way through a Lovecraftian Mythos anthology for two years now, but as this novella predates that I can't judge it fairly based on what followed it.
Very readable though I think I missed a great deal of the symbolism.
