Topic: Inspiration for Carcosa
I have been looking for other inspirational things for Carcosa. I figure to search for things similar to Retro Sci-fi or Space Opera mixed with Dark Science Fiction but have had no luck.

What have you already looked at?
The Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a good place to start.
I have looked at games such as Warhammer 40K, though not as much retro as it is more like Heavy Metals vision of the future.
Closest I can see that has a retro outlook would be Bioshock and Fallout. But neither entirely screams Carcosa to me.
I recommend '80s issues of Heavy Metal.
I say this becasue that's when I was reading it. Other decades might be just as helpful but I can't speak to that.
McKinney's original forum posts about Carcosa mention his influences. I link to a few of them on my blog.
