Lovecraftian-esque Decks?

Lovecraftian-esque Decks? ((Also skeleton decks?))

I've been looking recently for a deck that reminds me of H.P.Lovecraft's stories and the atmosphere thereof: dark but beautiful, organic but creepy...a weird edge. But the decks I've found that actually mention Lovecraft (Dark Grimoire, Necronimicon, H.P. Lovecraft Tarot) just aren't really to my liking. Can anyone think of some decks that sort of fit the Lovecraftian bill?

EDIT: Also, does anyone know of any skeleton-based decks? I've been having trouble finding any!

I can almost see in my mind's eye the kind of deck you want,
but I don't know that such a deck exists. :(

The closest ones I could think of are:
H.R.Giger tarot, though that one is only 22 cards.

And Wormweird Tarot.

I felt the Dark Grimoire Tarot by LoS seemed the most Lovecraftian.

The book of Kaos Tarot claims no affiliation to Lovecraft of his world, but I find it positively eldritch: http://www.crossroads.wild.net.au/tarot.htm

And I second the Giger, a truly disturbing deck --probably the most disturbing deck I have ever laid eyes on. I could not bring myself to read with mine, had to pass it on. And I'm not that easy to cow.

Oh wow, both of those are definitely weirdly beautiful! Very different, yet along the same vein. Thank you!

I do like this deck, or at least, the images I've seen. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll probably end up getting it one day anyway. :^P

What about The Writhing Dark: Eldritch Tarot deck

It is gorgeous! Not sure if you can order it yet, or if it's only for Kickstarter backers.

I definitely feel a Lovecraftian vibe from that deck, even if it isn't specifically Lovecraft. And a Lovecraft vibe is what I'm looking for! So thank you! :^D

Reviving this because I'm wondering if anyone knows any skeleton based decks as well. I'm having the hardest time finding some!
