Image of the Sea: Oceanic Consciousness in the Romantic Century
A large selection of Lovecraftian artwork, though (almost?) all is taken from a game. I quite liked the variety on offer, such that it's not all just Cthulhu and co, but also of the more mundane aspects, from professors and detectives to libraries and strange locations. Quality is variable, being from many artists, and some does look like half-baked 3d models, but there are plenty of fantastic murky images that really bring you into that nightmare world, both large (up to double page spread) and small.
It's sectioned up into themes with good descriptive intros, though sometimes the art barely fits the section. Artist bios are all at the back.
