A gallery of Lovecraft book covers

Some busily devoted fan

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.
