Adorable bookmarks!
The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher is a favorite of mine. I’ve done multiple rereads.
I’m not quite sure it it gets into the cosmic part of cosmic horror but Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is good. It has parallels to The Fall of the House of Usher (as does What Moves the Dead by Kingfisher)
On the other side, definitely cosmic, but not quite sure if it’s horror, but thoroughly enjoyable was The City We Became by N.K . Jemisin.
They’re adorable
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.
I love the on-theme charms!
I would love some recommendations for the genre - I've always been put off since most of what I could find locally was only Lovecraft!
