This had such cinematic panels! I could feel the snow melting on my face, and the hear the wind whistling through the plane they flew in above the lost city. can't wait to read my copy of the anthology of his works! As an adaptation of the original, it awes the reader with visuals that suggest an even grander scope of this ancient civilization, lost to us, and that something so beautiful can also be terrible. And for that reason, it makes seeing the city all the more intense and evocative of the philosophical sublime. I'm beginning to understand the term "Lovecraftian"!

Wow, what a fantastic adaptation of the classic Lovecraft story. Essential reading for any fan of Lovecraft's eldritch tales.
The first volume is a creepy setup for this second volume where things really come off the rails! Gou's artwork of the haunted Antarctic landscape and landscapes of unknown shapes is stunning. His black and white fine line work really portrays the haunted landscape to maximum effect. Also, his interpretations of the slithering Elder Ones is fantastic and terrifying.
My only complaint is why is this two volumes? They are separated logically but I really don't see a reason for it. Put it all together in one volume as one complete story.
A great read and highly recommended.

Wonderful adaptation by a fantastic mangaka. I can't suggest his Lovecraft series enough and every book that is announced is an instant buy. He climbed to one of my top spots.
