Finished most of the lovecraft stories about the mythos. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for other stories or novels by other authors?
TIA

Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith were both contemporaries and shared this mythos with HPL

Isn't Cthulu, strictly speaking, but Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero plays off of this mythos (and Scooby Doo stories, just FYI). It's been a fun read so far.

Not cthulhu stuff by Cynocephaly are interesting. The dogmen.
Apparently there are quite a few notable people who encountered them, including Marco Polo and Alexander the Great. St. Christopher supposedly was one.

Read The Ceremonies by T.E.D. Klein. A fantastic book that, while not set in the actual mythos (or at least, not definitely so), could have been written by Lovecraft himself. It is a slow, slow burn, but it’s worth it. It’s one of those books that doesn’t reveal all of its tricks until right at the end and has enough respect for the reader that it doesn’t spell everything out, so you’ll be thinking about it after you finish and suddenly realize, “Oh, THAT’S what that part was foreshadowing.”
You should also read some Arthur Machen for some pre-Lovecraft works in the same vein. Some of his short stories - in particular “The Great God Pan” and “The White People” - were huge influences on Lovecraft. “The White People” also plays a role in the plot of The Ceremonies.
