Are you looking for something like a fictional account of a group like the Golden Dawn? Or just anything involving cults? Because for the latter, a pretty big chunk of cosmic horror involves cults trying to summon one unspeakable evil or another.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn wasn't/isn't a cult.

I mean, the concept of Literally Nazi ABBA taking over the world is kind of frightening.

It really isn't

The Golden Dawn were not a cult, as has been stated.

I remember the first time I read In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. It was around midnight or so, and I remember thinking about the absolute cold randomness and implacability of the murders. I stood up and made sure the doors were locked, and then I woke up my dog made him sleep in the room with me. God, that book scared me to death.

The coldness of the murders and the blood involved certainly is scary

Anvil of Stars by Greg Bear. It's not a traditional choice, but if you read past the cutesy kid-friendly language the human characters use this is a book full of incredibly hosed up people doing awful things to themselves and everyone around them even as you slowly start to realize what a likewise hosed up universe they live in.

Even as a sci fi loving teen that book was really quite awful.
