Some friends and I decided we wanted to start getting to know the cosmic horror genre but were really put off by the hateful whining of Lovecraft. Since we're all people he probably would've hated on, we made a book club to explore the works of minority cosmic horror writers. (We're open to suggestions if anybody has favorites they want to share!)

I made and sent out these bookmarks to each of our members to celebrate.

Not at all the same vibe, but the John Dies at the End series by David Wong (Jason Pargin) is technically cosmic horror. And extremely funny.

ETA: As someone who also would have been hated on by Lovecraft, I am happy to have been able to read his works while they are open domain and he doesn't benefit from it. I have weird feelings about his works, but I do like the melancholy atmosphere he's able to create. My favourite is the Shadow over Innsmouth, which is ironic since it's basically a fable on the horrors of race mixing while I happen to be biracial.
