I love the cosmic horror and dread of H.P. Lovecraft's stories, the sense of vast, unknowable entities and humanity's insignificance. But, I'm looking for authors who explore similar themes with a more modern style or from a fresh perspective.
I've already read and enjoyed The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle, which is a brilliant response to Lovecraft's racism.
Can anyone recommend other novels that capture that feeling of cosmic horror without necessarily using the Cthulhu Mythos? I'm especially interested in works by contemporary authors.
