Sadly from what I'm personally aware of, there's a very limited amount of pure, coffee table-like art books out there.

There's this one, that's been around since 2006

https://www.amazon.com/Art-H-P-Lovecrafts-Cthulhu-Mythos/dp/1589943074/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1494041674&sr=1-1&keywords=lovecraft+art

I haven't gotten it yet but I hear it's pretty good.

And there's this one that...isn't really purely an art book, but does feature fantastic pieces of art for each Lovecraftian creature(as well as some info about them)

https://www.amazon.com/Petersens-Field-Guide-Lovecraftian-Horrors/dp/1568820836/ref=pd_sim_14_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1568820836&pd_rd_r=D7TH7P13RG5ZKPJ8KY7G&pd_rd_w=1hb6t&pd_rd_wg=YY4p0&psc=1&refRID=D7TH7P13RG5ZKPJ8KY7G

There's also a handful of very well designed adult coloring books out there, if you're so inclined. The newest one from Chaosium looks pretty great.

Check out The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard. A great collection, you might particularly enjoy: The Black Stone, The Thing on the Roof, Worms of the Earth, and Pigeons from Hell. There are plenty of stories that deal with these fallen/lesser human types, which you may find less enjoyable, but they make for a change, anyway. And, as a bonus, there's one Conan story thrown in for fun.

One that I really enjoyed but hasn't been mentioned yet is the first Dead but Dreaming. While not all the stories are superb, and there isn't a whole lot of new ground broken in them, the overall collection felt pretty good and a couple of the stories, David Barr Kirtley's "The Disciple" and Robin Morris's "The Thing Beyond the Stars", have stuck me with me for years after reading them. David Annandale's "Final Draft" is either over-the-top or fan-service, but it made a fine ending for a collection about a more modern take to the mythos.

I've had some pretty good times with the Black Wings of Cthulhu series.

As someone who doesn't read as much Lovecraft as they should, one of my favorite things about this series is it really makes me want to read more Lovecraft. (To be fair, I don't know that the others wouldn't, this is just the only one I have experience with.)

Reposting from a comment I wrote last week.

Here are some cool editions and pretty cheap:

  1. The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Nice cheap edition. Honestly, this is the best thing about Lovecraft and Weird Fiction anthologies -there are sooo many. And many cheap editions.

  2. Great Tales of Horror Edition A bit more expensive, but sweet looking book.

  3. Necronomicon Edition. Again way expensive... but, there is a paperback that also looks nice for around 18$

  4. The Mammoth book of Cthulhu This is a collection of Lovecraft inspired stories, and is not authored by your Faithful Uncle Theobald (HPL). However. there is no need for cannon purity, in my opinion.

    "But wait!," you say, "I hate paying for stuff." No worries, HPL was the pioneer in open source horror!

I'm with Satanicbearmaster. Alan Moore's work is pretty dope. Check out his book Neonomicon. It's an interestesting modern spin on a Mythos story. Also the version I've linked to is a collected edition that includes The Courtyard, which is pretty good too.

Congratulations man!

Mind that I'm not in US, so if anyone is interested here's the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Horror-Space-Critical-Essays-Subgenre/dp/1476664056

I'll get it for Kindle.

He will love this book - maybe destroy it at his age - but he'll love it.

S. Petersen's Field Guide to Creatures of the Dreamlands

u/cthulhufhtagn · 2 pointsr/Cthulhu

Yes. You have a few options.

1.) Buy directly from HPLHS

2.) Buy DVD from Amazon.com - A bit cheaper

3.) Watch it instantly on your computer/console via Netflix

Also, if you're interested in the idol prop, that's also available over at HPLHS

u/vkevlar · 1 pointr/Cthulhu

Books that are good, modernesque, and somewhat obscure: Cody Goodfellow's Radiant Dawn and Ravenous Dusk.

Sort of stealth-Mythos books, but I recommend them.

u/mcdrunkagain · 2 pointsr/Cthulhu

Very cool collection. The hardback of Rock'n'Roll Necronomicon was limited to 75 copies, very cool that you have #0. Here's a couple I didn't see in your collection: Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H.P. Lovecraft and the rare hardback of the Simon Necronomicon which I stupidly sold years ago for pennies on the dollar.

u/corpus_callosum · 1 pointr/Cthulhu

I have one through ten, but haven't read them yet. They get good reviews though.

u/booszhius · 1 pointr/Cthulhu

There's a collection of some of his Mythos short stories called Haggopian which I've enjoyed.

For an novel-length read by another author (Donald Tyson), I also recommend Alhazred: Author of the Necronomicon, which is the first in a series, but I've only read this one.

u/captapocalypse · 2 pointsr/Cthulhu

Both! I grabbed the Kindle version over at Amazon. You'll get more than your $12 worth.

u/InfamousBrad · 5 pointsr/Cthulhu

I think the one I'm most fond of is Reeves' and Pelan's Shadows over Baker Street, which would be worth the cover price just for Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" and James Lowder's "The Weeping Masks."

u/miguelpeters · 2 pointsr/Cthulhu

This is the only one I know. Almost bought it at a convention here in Rio last week.

u/hermitek · 2 pointsr/Cthulhu

Amazon.com (maybe this one?)(Israel shipping rates) would be reasonable choice.
