YOU!! You are the person I need to ask! What counts as cosmic horror? I've been asking and nobody has given a decent answer. I just need a few examples because I want to write some cosmic horror. (Sorry if this comes off as pushy, I can't tell if it is or isn't, cause I'm autistic.)
OH BOY! what a big and delightful question, thank you so much anon for the opportunity to go on this ramble.
obligatory disclaimer, i am a hobbyist writer, i haven’t studied literature in like seven years except for personal research, this is just my personal views, opinions, and experience. people will disagree. people will always be arguing about how to define genres.
first of all, to know what counts as the genre and find examples, we’ve got to figure out how we’re defining cosmic horror. we can come at it from a genre origin perspective, a physical scale, or the vibes.
to look at the origin of the genre, from wikipedia:
“Lovecraftian horror, sometimes used interchangeably with "cosmic horror", is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock.”
so, yknow. lovecraftian. incomprehensible, fear of not just the unknown but the impossible to understand. probably also aliens? aliens are a consistent (but not required) theme of cosmic horror.
alternatively, i’ve heard folks define it in terms of scale - if the thing you’re afraid of is bigger than you can comprehend, it’s cosmic. (and if it’s older than you can comprehend, it’s eldritch horror, but that’s another deep dive topic for another time.)
personally, i bring a “it’s about the vibes” kind of approach to horror writing that defining literary genres don’t really like. to me, cosmic horror is about vastness and smallness and loneliness and awe. i also enjoy the literal cosmos being present, which is why my cosmic horror tends to be astronomy-themed. (it’s about god, also? but my religious cosmic horror ramble is ANOTHER realm that we do not need to get into.)
still confused? that’s okay. horror subgenres tend to bleed into one another frequently, because when you boil it all down, it’s fear and understanding. the unknowability of space, or extraterrestrial life, or loneliness itself, something so big we can’t grapple with it any other way than to write fiction to try to comprehend what we don’t understand - that’s horror. that’s cosmic horrorc specifically, even if it’s hard to put into more concrete terms.
but like, that could be the whole point. incomprehensibility and all that. maybe the real cosmic horror was the subgenres we made along the way.
