Is anyone else here not much of a fan of other kinds of horror? Lovecraft interests me mostly because he brings mythology together with the modern scientific perspective on our place in the universe. I find that very intriguing, and wish there were other authors exploring it.
You can find many great authors who expanded the mythos including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, Robert W. Chambers, Ramsey Campbell and more.

Is it allowed to post original stories based on the myths? I like weird horror, and I like to put some reference to cosmic horror to my stories 🐙

Sure, just use the tag [Fan-made] after the title of the post.
