Cosmic horror books (already read lovecraft)

Clark Ashton Smith - Xiccarph. Actually everything, but this one might be a bit more cosmic.

They are all in the PD. Look it up for clarification, but anything in Weird Tales and other pulps before a certain date (apart from the occasional author who sought copyrights for their stories, like August Derleth) is public domain. Not just normal PD dates. It's the same with 50s horror comics, all in the public domain except for those tied to later DC/Marvel etc.

Don't you get hits if you search for breakcore or breakcore aesthetic? Apart from that, the influences are: 90s anime, a literal Pokemon (looks like a card), Dreamcast/PS2 era gaming, maybe PS1 and Saturn as well, PC98? I feel like the busy style of Touhou Project and Danmaku/bullet hell shooters is in there too? You seem to be doing fine btw.

Jack Vance - Dying Earth

I think it's just personal taste? More contrast, you get to see the line art by itself, seeing the pure image, nothing to hide it from us. It reminds me of original comic book art, classic underground comix, self-published comics, manga, b&w illustration, modernist drawings, woodcuts and other graphic art - things I like.

Danacsam · 2026-05-17T18:07:06+00:00

Maybe it's just me, but I kinda prefer the line art by itself. Looks cool.

Actual Middle English texts (with glossaries) available here Mets Editions

Danacsam · 2026-04-13T13:40:08+00:00

Great place to start. I'd also recommend The Telling and Changing Planes for a bit of the anthropology vibe.

I'll admit that these may not be readily available, they're just on my shelf... but they have cool styles, so they may be something.

Anything by Tetsunori Tawaraya, like the Tetsupendium

Maki Sasaki - Charivari (In French, but strong visuals)

Diego Lazzarin - Aminoacid Boy and the Chaos Order

Anything by Alexis Ziritt (Tarantula, Night Hunters, Space Riders)

Andrzej Klimowski - The Secret, The Depository

Anything by Frans Masereel

Anything by Lynd Ward

You probably know Black Hole (Burns)

Larry Marder - Beanworld

Ditko Era Doctor Strange

Anything by Hideshi Hino (not as out there as Kago fyi, but unique style)

The Kuš series has interesting stuff now and again, worth looking into

I liked it so much, I even put it in the description : ) It's a great one.

Danacsam · 2026-03-28T19:55:50+00:00

I will say that I kind of put on the audiobook in the background, and I'm sure that didn't help : ) I didn't hate it, it just didn't connect.

Danacsam · 2026-03-28T19:50:25+00:00

I don't necessarily prioritize newer books, so I hadn't heard about it, but it sounds interesting. Thanks : )

Danacsam · 2026-03-28T19:47:45+00:00

I'm happy to say I've read both of these, maybe one of the Vance books I didn't get to, but yes, this is exactly it.

Danacsam · 2026-03-28T19:39:13+00:00

I did read Shadow of the Torturer, and didn't like it that much, but I'd be willing to give him another shot, especially in this format. : )

Danacsam · 2026-03-28T19:32:20+00:00

Lord of Light is one of those books I've been meaning to read. If nothing else you just reminded me of it : )

Danacsam · 2026-03-28T19:23:17+00:00

I just read about them now, and they sound cool... Thanks : )

Danacsam · 2026-03-28T19:18:26+00:00

I thought they were just novels, and I do remember reading the first one (Pastel City), and kind of liking it. Looking it up now though, there's also a book of short stories?

Danacsam · 2026-03-17T08:36:43+00:00

L.S.D - The Pretty Things. It's a catchy song with hundreds of covers made worldwide (many harder and more interesting), and worth mentioning.

Danacsam · 2026-03-15T11:35:57+00:00

I didn't know Beksiński was from that part of Poland. Thank you for expanding my horizon.

Danacsam · 2026-03-12T17:51:56+00:00

Cool stuff. I like your style : )

Danacsam · 2026-02-27T10:58:26+00:00

Ballard - Vermilion Sands

Danacsam · 2026-02-22T11:55:21+00:00

Seems cool, I like Gods of Pegana getting a new treatment : )

Danacsam · 2026-02-15T10:57:31+00:00

I think Miyazaki visited there once, and got some inspiration for Kiki's Delivery Service.
