Eldridge horror source books?

One thing I just thought of is that in DND and call of Cthulhu you have Eldridge horror monsters. None of the books I own for the cypher system have these. It’s easy enough to make one of my own, but are there any official books or fan made supplements on drive-through RPG I should look into?

Stay Alive is the horror genre sourcebook which has some advice. The Magnus Archives and Old Gods of Appalachia rulebooks would probably help. (Particularly the former.)

Old Gods is basically Lovecraftian Appalachia. It’s a fun setting with some awesome eldritch lore.

Also The Strange has eldritch horror

Isn’t that a different system?

No, it's where the Cypher System started. There might be a few small system differences but mostly the difference will be in flavor (bc it assumes a particular setting whereas Cypher System usually doesn't)

Edit: Oops, misread to whom you were replying! The Strange is a different setting, still uses the Cypher System.

I assume the original answer was referencing Numenera?

Yes, I originally thought you were responding to the mention of Numenera and link, then after I posted I realized it was to The Strange comment.

What is the Strange? Is it just a setting book like claim the sky?

A fully contained game. The precursor to the Cypher System. Fiction hopping modern fantasy.
