Robert Bloch as teenager corresponded via letters HP Lovecraft via letter . They never met one another face to face. And yes , Robert Bloch was very very good at Cosmic Horror stories !

In genre horror, Robert Bloch is one the of the giants !

Under cosmic Horror would like add

Born of The Sun by Jack Williamson a really nifty Cosmic Horror related short story from one of the greats

Darker than You Think by Jack Williamson is a by far onetime greatest an influential Werewolf/ Lycanthropy novels ever written and this goes full bore in the Cosmic Horror and its very hard to put this one down once you start reading it !
