Steel Ball Run, and The Night Land.
As for authors, obviously Lovecraft, grandfather of it all in Cosmic Horror.
Then Clark Ashton Smith if you want some fantasy/cosmic-horror, next best thing.
Algernon Blackwood if you want some actual horror cosmic-horror, very good. The Willows and The Wendigo are absolutely his best.
My personal favorite is William Hope Hodgson, author of The Night Land and The House on the Borderland, both absolutely incredible and really bone-chilling.
Robert Chambers' The King in Yellow stories are also classics, definitely read those.
