A gallery of Lovecraft book covers


It's kind of touching to see such a host of graphic artists valiantly struggling to capture this author's impossible sensibility within their own limits of time and budget constraints. Plus, supposedly, some shopper is supposed to buy that thing off a shelf! I wonder how many of these packages would have attracted Lovecraft's own interest as an inveterate book browser. Some of them, for sure. Maybe about one in ten. Also check out this page from a devoted fan.
