Try "Lovecraftian horror"
. Wikipedia says the two terms are used interchangeably by some scholars.

Friends, I'm currently working on an academic paper myself and as much as I wish they'd allow me to cite this very wiki, they don't. Do you guys know of an academic paper that defines (or at least mentions, really) what a cosmic horror story is, so that I can cite it? Many thanks.
