From the nihilistic absurdity of Thomas Ligotti to the heavily science-fictional chills of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, the cosmic horror of today continues to tell tales of a vast, indifferent, and even carnivorous cosmos, through new lenses and fresh new perspectives.

Here are a few of the best cosmic horror books from exciting writers new and old—both those who were writing before Lovecraft appeared on the scene, and those who have come after.

  • At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft
  • The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers
  • The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson
  • Malpertuis by Jean Ray
  • Volk by David Nickle
  • Cthulhu’s Daughters by Silvia Moreno-Garcia & Paula R. Stiles
  • The Fisherman by John Langan
  • The Secret of Ventriloquism by Jon Padgett
  • Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
  • The Immaculate Void by Brian Hodge
  • Chills by Mary SanGiovanni
  • The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch
  • Uzumaki by Junji Ito
