What The Critics Say

2017 ENnie winner - Petersen Guide for best monster and interior art

 
  • "One of the most gorgeous books of this type that have ever been published for a role-playing game."

    — Antonios S, RPGNet Review.

  • "A lovely hardback… full colour, muscular and imposing, weird and unearthly, strange and shocking. …attractive to own, sometimes to peruse, sometimes to show off, sometimes to inspire."

    — Reviews from R’lyeh, Horrors for Halloween.

  • "There are Cthulhu Mythos monster books aplenty, but Petersen’s Field Guide stands out."

    — Graeme Davis, My Top Five RPG Monster Books.

  • “I bought this book for the artwork, but found that the text was delightful… It’s a coffee-table book for people who love monsters. Sure, any Keeper worth their salt will filch the art to show to their players at the game table, but this tome’s natural habitat is in the vicinity of a couch, on a rainy day, with the aroma of coffee wafting across from the kitchen. Enjoy.”

    — Stygian Muse, Petersen’s Field Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors.

  • “An esoteric start point for Mythos biology, zoology, morphology, fractal metaphysics.”

    — chaosiana, SANDY PETERSEN’S FIELD GUIDE TO LOVECRAFT HORRORS Review.
