The Lovecraft Anthology, Volume 1 by H.P. Lovecraft

Herausgeber (wie schon bei „Volume 1“) ist Dan Lockwood, ein Liebhaber des Werks von HPL. Es umfasst 120 Seiten (ohne Seitennummerierung) und kostet knapp USD 20,. Man darf auf Abwechslung bei den neun Geschichten hoffen!ĭas Farb-Softcover ist erstmals 2012 bei SelfMadeHero (London, GB) auf Englisch erschienen und liegt in aktuell in einer Druckauflage von 2015 vor. Der Band setzt „Volume 1“ fort und hat als Ausgangsbasis kürzere Horror-Geschichten von Lovecraft, die als abgeschlossene Kurzgeschichten-Comics umgesetzt wurden. Wie der Name der Anthologie schon verraten kann, handelt es sich dabei um illustrierte Adaptionen von Storys des Autors unheimlich-fantastischer Geschichten, H. The stories contained within this volume are: I can't recommend this highly enough and can only hope for a third volume. The tone throughout is just right and absolutely does justice to the creeping menace of Lovecraft's visions. This keeps the experience as a whole fresh and surprising, breathing new life to old bones that many of us will be familiar with. The images range from wonderfully angular stylized pieces ('The Temple') to a realism akin to, say, Brian Bolland's work ('The Festival'). The short stories adapted within have a beautiful, filmic quality with the different artistic and narrative styles complementing each other like an old Amicus port manteau.

They say lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice but, again, this is another absolute triumph of imaginative interpretation and excellence for the open-minded Lovecraft devotee.
