I do wish it was easier to express the existential horror of cosmology better in narrative forms, but perhaps it's better to couch such things as fiction, rather than forcing people to look at the reality of our universe. The soul shrivels away from such knowledge, as it's simply out of scale with our lived experience.

Nyarlathotep is safely remote; an asteroid or gamma ray burst does not bear thinking about.

There isn't as much horror in the real universe. Gamma ray bursts aren't as scary as horrible ancient gods, in my opinion. The horror is from realizing everything you know is incorrect.
