Lamentations of the Flame Princess might be edgy, but it was Raggi and his vision that popularised splendid looking A5-sized rulebooks, adventures, and supplements, in the OSR space. Here are some of the books I've enjoyed very much, that don't feature excessive gore and edgelordiness:

• LotFP Rules & Magic Free Version. This is the free version of the core rulebook, worth picking-up just to understand the differences between LotFP and whichever system you might be using.
• LotFP Referee Book (old Grindhouse Edition). Another free and very useful resource, even if you won't run LotFP.
• Broodmother SkyFortress. Part campaign-disrupting adventure, part collection of essays on running old-school games. Easily my favourite LotFP publication.
• The Random Esoteric Creature Generator for Classic Fantasy Role-Playing Games and Their Modern Simulacra. Bunch of random tables to create horrific monsters. Or horrifically comical; depending on your rolls and interpretations of therein.
• Carcosa. Oh Carcosa, oh how wonderfully wicked you are! Geoffrey McKinney gives us a whole sandbox (campaign map with described hexes) surrounding Carcosa, as well as an in depth view of one hex (multiple points of interest). It is a horrific place, living up to source material.
• Veins of the Earth. Wonderful inspiration to make the underdark darker and scarier.
• The Staffortonshire Trading Company Works of John Williams. Amazing resource if you are looking to run 17th century inspired setting.
• 6x6x6: The Mayhemic Misssile Method (Tenscore and Sixteen Ways for Sorcerists, Witches, and Other Thaumatrophs to Defend Their Indefensible Persons). Make those magic missiles unique. I've used it to give foes unique flair.
• Tower of the Stargazer. A great adventure for LofTP one-shot and to gage if LofTP adventures vibe well with you and your players. You know, mean traps, lying bastards, and miserable pay off.
