Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After the splendid recent adaptation of 'At The Mountains Of Madness' by Eye Classics comes this exceptional compendium of some of Lovecraft's most celebrated short stories. As is necessary with comics the text is economical but, essentially, doesn't lose the essence of HPL's voice. The graphics themselves are extraordinary with vastly varying styles, none of which put a step wrong. Taken together these leave the tales positively dripping with the all-pervading paranoia, hopelessness and fear reknowned in the original stories. The art is enormously imaginative and adds hideous flesh to the bones of Lovecraft's often 'indescribable' entities from Dunwich Horror's Wilbur to Dagon's wasteland to Cthulhu itself.
I can't recommend this collection highly enough and would even point to it as an entry level primer to anyone curious about the dark allure of Lovecraft. Can't wait for volume 2...

I was in two minds, but I had enjoyed "At the Mountains of Madness" so much that I decided to get it.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole book and will be waiting for Volume 2 which I believe is March 2012 some time.
Excellent artwork throughout and true to the original stories.

Having never encountered Lovecraft in graphic novel form, I approached this volume with some trepidation, having been persuaded to purchase by the glowing reviews above. This collection is, simply, superb. The tales selected are Lovecraft's most famous tales, but are presented with such verve that they are rendered fresh to even those most familiar with the works.
The artwork of all involved perfectly captures the mood of Lovecraft's writing and even suggest some new takes on the tales.
Recommended without hesitation.
