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.
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.
