Here's some information I've found on rec.arts.sf.written in the past.

BTW, Arkham House has hardback collections of HPL.

_A Rendezvous in Averoigne_ is probably still available from Arkham
House.  It contains a good selection of Clark Ashton Smith's stories 
(~20 of his best) and the price is right at about US$20.

I don't know about Lovecraft influencing early science fiction, but....

Lovecraft was probably influenced by many writers, most notably Poe,
but
the one you're thinking of is Robert W. Chambers, who wrote "The King
in Yellow", which is a collection of short stories.  I seem to remember
that Chambers originally used the name "Hastur", and perhaps a couple
of fantastic locations that Lovecraft picked up later and incorporated
into his own works.  As far as i know, "The King in Yellow" is
Chambers'
only well-known work.
