    Uses Lovecraft IP:

    • The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle retells “The Horror at Red Hook”.
    • Clark Ashton Smith, who was friends with Lovecraft, wrote a lot of Cthulhu-related stuff.

    Strongly Lovecraft-inspired:

    • The Fisherman by John Langan gets recommended a lot.
    • Carter & Lovecraft by Jonathan L. Howard
    • B.P.R.D., the sister series to Hellboy, has a lot of Lovecraftian influence in certain story arcs, if you like comics.

    General cosmic horror/looser Lovecraftian vibes:

    • Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer is pretty different from the movie.
    • The Immaculate Void by Brian Hodge
    • Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan
    • The Willows by Algernon Blackwood (free on Gutenberg )

    Obviously not an exhaustive list (there’s a lot I haven’t read yet!), but hopefully you’ll find something to get you started.
