The Lovecraft Anthology, Volume 1 by H.P. Lovecraft

The Call of Cthulhu, The Haunter of the Dark, The Dunwich Horror, The Colour Out of Space, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Rats in the Walls, and Dagon are all here in top-notch adaptations, and the art that brings them to life is outstanding. Out of the seventy or so stories that Lovecraft wrote between 18 (not counting nonextant ones and co-authored pieces), Lockwood did a superb job of selecting the tales that make up the core of the Lovecraftian canon. LOVECRAFT ANTHOLOGY: VOLUME 1 contains 7 tales that could be considered the sine qua non stories in any Mythos collection. However, Dan Lockwood’s LOVECRAFT ANTHOLOGY: VOLUME 1 has changed that: I can now say I’ve seen and read a great collection of classic Cthulhu Mythos stories in graphic form. Until now, most of the attempts have landed somewhere between mediocre to good. With such evocative prose, it makes sense that many visual artists would try to bring Lovecraft’s stories to life using images. From tentacled monsters, the inevitable return of the Old Ones, and creatures that hide in the shadows of dilapidated cities to antediluvian temples at the bottom of the ocean and edifices possessing that impossibly spooky element that is Non-Euclidean geometry, Lovecraft’s work is unique and wonderfully descriptive. Lovecraft’s work has been filling my head with amazing, scary, cyclopean, and horrific images for more than fifteen years.

Charting the squirming mysteries of the unknown, Lovecraft's short stories are brought to vivid and malevolent life. From the insidious mutations of 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' to the mind-bending threat of 'The Call of Cthulhu', this collection explores themes of insanity, inherited guilt and arcane ritual to startling effect. Featuring collaborations between established writers and artists as well as debut contributors, The Lovecraft Anthology Vol.1 showcases Lovecraft's talent for the macabre. A graphic anthology of tales from the renowned master of the eerie.
