I brought this book call 'the art of horror' by Stephen Jones. There is a chapter talking about Lovecraft. I selected some artist from it, I think I can take inspiration from these great illustration and use it in my practical work.
Prompted by the release of a new edition from Titan Books,
here's a squint at one of the illustrations for Shadows Over Innsmouth. This was the first done by Dave Carson, Jim
Pitts, and Martin Mckenna,
working together in 1993, each on a separate section of the image.

Weird Tales
is an American fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine founded by J. C. Henneberger and J. M. Lansinger
in late 1922. The first issue, dated March 1923, appeared on newsstands
February 18th.[2] The first editor, Edwin Baird, printed early work by H. P. Lovecraft, Seabury Quinn, and Clark Ashton Smith, all of whom would go on to be popular writers,
'For the village dead to the moon outspread
Never shone in the sunset’s gleam,
But grew out of the deep that the dead years keep
Where the rivers of
madness stream
Down the gulfs to a pit
of dream.
A chill wind weaves thro’ the rows of sheaves
In the meadows that
shimmer pale,
And comes to twine where the headstones shineAnd the ghouls of the churchyard wail
For harvests that fly and fail.'
