Graphic Classics Volume 4: H. P. Lovecraft - 2nd Edition by Rod Lott, Alex Burrows, H.P. Lovecraft
4.0
I picked this up in hopes that the graphic novel format would help ease me into some of HP Lovecraft’s tales of horror.
I’ve been reading a lot of fiction based on Lovecraft’s work, so it was a fun way to discover which tales connect to which monsters or characters from other books I’ve been reading.
The illustrations are a bit dated but not in a bad way. The art reminded me of Spiegelman and worked well with the storytelling. The short story “Reanimator” was a bit too wordy for me compared with how other stories in the book were laid out, but overall I think this book is a great resource for introducing someone to Lovecraft’s work.
3.7 ⭐️
