I'm on a major, major Lovecraft kick, so I'm pretty much willing to pick up anything tangentially related to the guy. This is a graphic novel I got for $3 in a sale, and it was...different than I expected. The conceit is that Lovecraft's demons actually come to life when he sleeps and commit all sorts of atrocities in Providence.

It's silly fun. It's not great, but not terrible, but it doesn't really try to be anything it isn't. I'm glad I picked it up, but I wouldn't recommend anyone rush this to the top of their list, either.
