One of the best things that Lovecraft encapsulated was the fear of the unknown.

“I cannot think of the deep sea without shuddering at the nameless things that may at this very moment be crawling and floundering on its slimy bed, worshipping their ancient stone idols and carving their own detestable likenesses on submarine obelisks of water-soaked granite. I dream of a day when they may rise above the billows to drag down in their reeking talons the remnants of puny, war-exhausted mankind—of a day when the land shall sink, and the dark ocean floor shall ascend amidst universal pandemonium.”

― H.P. Lovecraft, The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft

Originally, I drew this for the now-defunct apparel company Black Hope Curse. After the pandemic killed them off, I used it in the re-issue of my novel Down Highways in the Dark…by Demons Driven.

A revised re-issue of which is available on Amazon https://tinyurl.com/yy57t7jz

The limited edition, signed and numbered hardcover of Down Highways in the Dark..by Demons Driven (with a unique handcrafted drawing in each copy) is available in my new Kickstarter campaign.
