Ummm, HPL tended to call such things from Poe's pen "laboured pseudo-humour". On this one, I'd say he was right (though I do have rather a fondness for "Bon-Bon"... and "How to Write a Blackwood Article/A Predicament").
As for
Pym... actually it was his only completed novel;
The Journal of Julius Rodman was, I believe, intended to be of novel length, but he never completed it -- and, after having read it a few years ago, I can rather understand why. It's probably the only time I've ever had to truly grit my teeth to get through something of Poe's....
Kostmayer... I'll back you up on that. It ain't quite Poe, but it
is a rather good album....
