Strange Aeons is actually really interesting so far, because they're pulling a lot of the nice creepy stuff out of the Mythos without the racist bits while still keeping it Pathfinder-appropriate. They have the Player's Guide up on Paizo.com for Strange Aeons, which does give a good bit of info (without spoilers). Tor.com is doing an H.P. Lovecraft Re-Read, which they describe as 'two modern Mythos writers get girl cooties all over old Howard’s original stories'. They acknowledge a lot of the crappy bits and enjoy the good bits (the dude had a way of making the back of your neck crawl). I have found that some of it helps? They aren't glossing over his bad bits.
(And there's an ebook available of all the actual written stuff if you want to read some of it as well without actually buying it. Legal, even.)
