Recently I watched the movie Sunshine (2007) & I really liked Searle's character. He is so obsessed with the sun in a near-religious way that he pushed the limits of the observation deck's protective filter. I think he wanted to become one with the sun or consumed by it- and well, at the end he let himself be annihilated by the sun.
I'm looking for cosmic horror books with that specific element: where the obsession (madness?) drove someone into the point where they wanted to fully surrender & commune/become one/become annihilated with the object of worship, instead of only feeling pure dread from the madness. Thank you in advance
