Good cosmic horror/lovecraftian books?

start with HPL himself, then work to the newer ones, who took inspiration from him.
Steven King is one I can always remember as being influenced by HPL.
Almost all modern stories or movies have some kind of elements of HPL in them.
Herbert West's Reanimator if you want a movie.

General gist of my ramblings is this:
Once you've read HPL and understood his underlying intentions and motives you will find them everywhere in modern media, not just horror or scifi. His concepts of cosmicsm and the indifference of the universe to us humans, and his concept of the unkown being the ultimate horror.
Hope this helps

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 13 12:17:46 2018 No.12075681 King in yellow by Robert W. Chambers is pretty good. Also revival by Stephen king is nice.
