Book recommendations for cosmic horror on a spaceship - eviltoast

I’ve been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I’d really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn’t be poked, scan what shouldn’t be scanned, and things proceed from there.

    The Locked Tomb series! It’s excellent. The first book is Gideon the Ninth.

    It’s not exactly the right genre but I think it’s pretty close. Many people describe it as lesbian necromancers in space. But that’s a poor description IMO. More like mystery novels with a side of horror featuring necromancers in space. The lesbian aspect is very minor though certainly relevant to the plot.
