New to this edition are adaptations of 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth,' illustrated by Simon Gane and 'Dreams in the Witch House,' by Pedro Lopez. Plus: 'Sweet Ermengarde,' a rare comedy by Lovecraft. Returning from the previous edition are 'Reanimator,' 'The Shadow Out of Time,' The Terrible Old Man' and 'The Cats of Ulthar.' With a stunning cover painting by Giorgio Comolo. Reanimated corpses, ancient evil and horrors too disturbing to describe? Must be H.P. Lovecraft, master of the creepy. This is an updated and expanded edition of an up-to-now unavailable collection of comics adaptations of the horror master's craft. Lovecraft is a sort of pulpier, purpler Edgar Allan Poe, his stories taking place in a gothic New England landscape. Like all the great spine-tinglers, H.P. likes to leave his monsters up to the imagination, but the works in this collection are fairly dripping with tentacles, specters and monstrous visages. Simon Gane's intense, sometimes overly busy, illustration of 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' portrays Lovecraft's classic beast, Great Cthulu, as a scaly minotaur with a head writhing with suckers. Pedro Lopez's film noiresque vision of 'Dreams of the Witch House' has fewer monsters, but still manages to throw in a few tentacles. Even Kevin Atkinson's appropriately cartoonlike illustrations of 'Sweet Ermengarde'—one of Lovecraft's few works that doesn't mention monsters at all (other than the human sort)—has creepy crawlies in the wings. Although some of the collection's drawing can be uneven, the whole makes for chilling fun. (Jan.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Gr. 9-up. Following books on Poe, Conan Doyle, and H. G. Wells, this fourth volume in the Graphic Classics series lives up to the intent of the series, which is dedicated to reintroducing classic authors of the macabre in comics format. The book includes an introduction by Gahan Wilson, George Kuchar's 1975 comics biography of the early-twentieth-century horror writer, graphic novelized adaptations of several Lovecraft stories, some original comics stories based on Lovecraft lore, and a 36-stanza epic poem, 'Fungi from Yuggoth,' illustrated by 17 contemporary cartoonists. In all, more than three-dozen artists contributed to this black-and-white album. The cartoonists, many of whom have also worked in other areas--film, commercial art, music, underground comics, teaching--represent many countries. Richard Corben and Rick Geary are American; Dominique Signoret is from France; Gerry Alanguilan is from the Philippines. Artists from England, Denmark, and Italy are also included. As an introduction to Lovecraft, this is fine fare; for teens already enamored of the hallmark American author, the book offers a satisfying array of stylish interpretations. In keeping with Lovecraft's own sensibilities, creepiness, rather than violence, is the running theme. Francisca Goldsmith Copyright © American Library Association.

Lovecraft - 2nd Edition (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels)) (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels)) Rating - Graphic Classics a good book to own and read This is a very good book to read on a dark stormy night, all kidding aside though I did enjoy it, and found that some of the classics like Poe translate well over to graphic novel format, which was unexpected. It is like finding a treasure after high school forced reading of books that you could not associate with. Overall five stars, enjoyed it a lot, worth picking up and reading. Rating - A Fine Collection of Graphic Lovecraft As a lover of Lovecraft's lovely writing for over ten years now, I eagerly awaited this in the mail, and it turned out to be a very fine addition to any Lovecraftian library. Starting off nicely with a dark and touching one page version of Lovecraft's excellent poem; "A Memory". Then onwards to one of my most treasured pieces of literature; "The Shadow over Innsmouth". As a friend of mine remarked some time ago, we have now seen five versions of this ... Read More Rating - THE BEST COMIC ADAPTATION YET OF LOVECRAFT'S WORK The works of H.P. Lovecraft have never had great success when adapted for film, TV, or comics. I think in failing to understand the nature of the source material...Lovecraft's unseen, indescribable brand of terror, film directors and comic writers have always tried to too hard to bring his work into the light, instead of allowing it to fester in the shadows. This is why we've seen so many truly terrible film adaptations of his work. I'm ... Read More Rating - A new Way of looking at Classics. Being a big fan of classic and horror literature I happened across these books quite by accident . I was immediatley struck by the talent of the artists across the board ranging from the comedic interpretations to the serious. These graphic novels are a wonderful way to access Lovecrafts work whether you are a novice or devoted follower. But be warned they are addictive and you will want to colleect the whole series . see more reviews See all books by author H. P.
