At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft
4.0

Really liked this! Lovecraft's prose is...well, what it is (not bad, necessarily, but definitely its own style and one not always easy for us with English as a second language). Therefore I am grateful to people who make graphic novels out of Lovecraft's stories - I get to experience them all over again, in a different way!

"At the Mountains of Madness" is one of my favorite Lovecraft stories, so I greatly enjoyed this version of it on that merit alone. But the art here is great and the parts of the story they chose to include - both in terms of scenes and in terms of dialogue - are wonderful. The only downside is that there can't be as much slow build-up in a graphic novel, though the build-up there is, is delightful!
