They're definitely among the worst of the worst. It's always surprised me how comparatively sterile their wiki page is. Feels like they've got someone cleaning it up.

Wayne June has excellent readings of Lovecraft's works.
Der Prozess/The Trial is one of the better ones in my opinion. Really captures the essence of Kafka. Of course, it is also one of his longer works.
I read it a long time ago. The format is interesting, novel certainly. I suppose it's the selling point, over the prose.
To me it seemed like there were many competing "ways" to read it as well. Like a maze, you can go different paths. Do you read it front to back? Niggle through the citations? Thread back through the holes? It's not often you get a book that has this much re-read value.
Don't know about Lovecraft, but the big creepypasta/web story thing these days is the SCP foundation. But I assume you've already heard about that one?
If you want a pretty cool example, Le morte d'Arthur was written in prison.
