Like many of you oh-so-cool Dangerous Minds readers I am a collector
of a great many THINGS. From records to books and a slew of action
figures, my house is a mini-museum full of cool THINGS. I also happen to
know that a number of our regular visitors to DM seem to have a thing
for anything that associated with the great American horror writer H.P.
Lovecraft. Which leads me to my post for today which features a number
of intricate sculptures depicting some of Lovecraft’s eldritch entities
such as “Dagon,” a creature that first made its appearance in
Lovecraft’s short story of the same name from 1917; everyone’s favorite
octopus-headed cosmic being, “Cthulhu”; Pickman’s model, and the nutty
Nyarlathotep among others. I’m just aching to bring a few of these
critters into my own menagerie of mayhem…
Some of the sculptures in this post are available for purchase. That
said they are not cheap—specifically that magnificent wall sculpture
“Lovecraft Tormented” (pictured at the top of this post). That puppy
will run you a cool $1288. Several toy companies have released sets of
Lovecraft’s monstrous nightmares and when they do, they sell out pretty
fast, so if you see something in this post that strikes your fancy, get
it now before it’s sold out and selling on eBay for bigs bucks. I’ve
included some handy links for you to do just that under each available
piece below.
