So he plugged a Pygmalion story as a sequel to Shadow Over Innsmouth. The living sculpture thing aside, I kinda liked it. I am always worried that Derleth will change something Lovecraft established so maybe when he simply reinforces what Lovecraft wrote already I am relieved enough to like the story.

The issue here isn't that Derleth is trying to tell a Pygmalion style story. The issue is he's trying to shoehorn an unrelated idea of his, into the Cthulhu Mythos. If he had just stuck to telling a weird tale about a guy who discovers strange clay and makes a statue that haunts his dreams, it would have been decent. But everything is bogged down because Derleth has to justify his own inclusions in the lore by regurgitating plot-points from SOI.
