Like I get that Lovecraft is the OG, but it's way too difficult to be immersed in cosmic horror when the author is Like That. Whenever I read Lovecraft, I spend most of it trying to figure out if the horrors are actually insanity inducing or if they'd just drive H.P Lovecraft to insanity, because I have a sneaking suspicion that normal physics concepts I enjoy learning about would affect him just as bad as Cthulhu. But I want to like cosmic horror, the Eldritch is a really interesting concept, so do you folks know anything that could fill a similar role of helping me understand the genre while also actually being scary? Or at least good?
