I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but Philip K. Dick has written a few stories that could fall into the realm of (future) cosmic/existential horror.

Some of his short stories have given me nightmares over the years. The short story Faith of Our Fathers seems somewhat cosmic horror-like...

I had a cackling mad, "I-realise-I-can-see-Yog-Sothoth-coming"-type epiphany while reading The Three Stigmata Of Palmer Eldrtich when I realised what the title was referring to. It's not exactly horror and it's got a long build-up (as well as some fairly stodgy prose) but I couldn't put it down.

It also had a surprisingly happy ending, at least in my eyes.

He apparently goes by YellowJester on his forums, so I assume he's a King Crimson fan.

He actually said in an interview that 'The Court Of The Crimson King' is his favourite piece of music.
