There's a little of the collector in all of us (or a lot of one in my case!) - with the subject(s) of our collecting passion ranging from the commonplace to the curious, the eclectic to the esoteric - but none more so than with the Eldritch Bikers.

This is a Bikerverse-wide brotherhood of cryptic, ultra-reclusive, inordinately-secretive bikers belonging to many different motorcycle clubs but who all share a disquieting obsession with amassing collectabilia relating to the arcane & occult, the recondite & enigmatic, with a particular emphasis upon anything appertaining to the writings, lore & cosmic beliefs of American sci fi/fantasy author H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937). Bikers heavily into Lovecraftian collectabilia generally belong to either the Miskatonic Riders MC or the Cthulhu Cult MC.

Lovecraft was renowned for his eerie horror tales, published both in short story & in full-length novel form, featuring the weird, macabre  & uncanny. The most famous ones are those focusing upon an ancient, truly enormous, sea-dwelling deity named Cthulhu - one of the Great Old Ones originally from Outer Space but subsequently imprisoned & hibernating in an underwater city in the South Pacific Ocean on our planet Earth. Cthulhu is the central entity of a very extensive mythopoeia & shared universe, and whose lurid green humanoid form also incorporates the monstrous morphological attributes of a multi-limbed octopus & a winged dragon.

So look out for plenty of Cthulhu representations among the countless obscure objets d'art  - everything from orphic orbs, alchemical instruments & forbidden texts in unholy tomes to tattered archaic scrolls, maps & manuscripts, sun-bleached darkling skulls & pickled abominations of decidedly disturbing (not to mention unsettling & unnatural!) appearance - all proudly displayed by various Eldritch Bikers depicted in this present gallery's selection of pictures & video clips. These have been produced by several different AI image-generation programs, but all of them in the style of detailed Victorian engravings, chromolithographs & oil paintings, as specifically prompted to do so by me in order to create a visual ambience redolent of an age of magic, mystery & even a degree of menace - you have been warned!

Let's put it this way: when questioned by the authorities on whichever planets they live, Eldritch Bikers always claim that their collections of macabre Lovecraftian paraphernalia & other eerie esoterica are for display purposes only, that they never actually put them to any practical, magical purpose - but do you believe them? Check out some of what they have collected here as revealed in the following array of eye-opening images, and decide for yourself!

(Incidentally, you may notice that as revealed by badges on their leather jackets, some of the Eldritch Bikers portrayed here belong to a motorbike club known as the Void Riders MC - please keep that name in mind, because it will be reappearing in a future gallery currently still in preparation but coming soon.)
