Cosmicism is a name given to the literary philosophy that H. P. Lovecraft developed and used for his fiction. The name is commonly stated to have been coined by Lovecraft himself, though no sources that state this claim provide any statements by Lovecraft himself using it. Lovecraft was a writer of horror stories that involve occult phenomena like astral projection and alien miscegenation, and the themes of his fiction over time contributed to the development of this philosophy.
