Right now, at least as far as short fiction goes, I'm seeing a renewed interest in Lovecraft and weird fiction in general -- lots of mentions about the "King in Yellow" ever since they dropped the references on HBO's astoundingly excellent series "True Detective" (if you haven't seen it, get off your ass). I think weird fiction is especially appealing, too, given the increasing post-modernity of our world -- that is, a superfluous blending of genres that weird fiction in particular lends itself nicely to IMO.
