A 1976 reprint of Munn’s The Werewolf of Ponkert, now free on Archive.org in public PDF. The tale (1925) went into the public domain last year. Other than the original Weird Tales appearance, one scan which is not ideal for reading, this is the only other version on Archive.org.

“Dagon” presented as a small VR game/visual-novel from Bit Golem. It’s set to release on Lovecraft’s birthday next month. If you add it to your Wishlist on Steam now, apparently you then get it free on the release-day.

ComicCraft has 50% sale across all their quality (if rather expensive) commercial-use comic-books fonts, until 31st July. There are a dozen or so horror-comics fonts there, as well as some pulpy retro styles and some suited to adventure-hero comics.
The Blambot store is your rather more affordable alternative, and their sale is usually 30% off from ‘Cyber Monday’. You can also hire Blambot to create a custom comic-book font.

Four more scans of Derleth’s 1940s Arkham Sampler, added to Archive.org as public PDFs. These do not duplicate the existing scans.

“The Cats of Ulthar” has been adapted as an indie videogame, albeit with the game-mechanics offering what appears to be a horrible motion-sickness inducing camera. Not sure Ulthar has electric lighting either, but it looks like a good low-budget try at making the story into a game.

A portrait of Lovecraft, published in issue 27 of the early videogame magazine ACE (December 1989) and new on Archive.org. A bit fuzzy, it has not been scanned well and it does not up-scale well. But it appears to be by “D.C. Designs”. Which makes it by Dave Carson of south London, in the UK, who apparently also sold limited edition prints and t-shirts of the design.
See also a NecronomiCon 2001 cover and some details on the British zine Dagon.
Possibly based on this photo…

Early 1930s ‘sinister’ woodcuts of Newport, a favourite haunt of Lovecraft. They appear to have been produced for the Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps a fundraiser booklet, at a guess? A Halloween Ball?
Someone may wish to have the church steeple woodcut as a book cover (H.P. Lovecraft in Newport or suchlike). I’ve rectified and enlarged it.

Archive.org now has what appears to be a complete run of the famous Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, including early issues and annuals. Though it looks like it’s now in need of a sorting-list, so it can be seen in order as #1 through #250 (2010).

A boxed collection of Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu products from the 1980s. All neatly bundled and presumably warehouse originals that have not been chewed on by ghouls. (Nope, they’re reprints apparently).
Official, and Kickstarting now.
