    H. P. Lovecraft

    Renowned as one of the great horror-writers of all time, H.P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 and lived most of his life in Providence, Rhode Island. Among his many classic horror stories, many of which were published in book form only after his death in 1937, are ‘At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror’ (1964), ‘Dagon and Other Macabre Tales’ (1965), and ‘The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions’ (1970).

      Lovecraft has written some very strange stories that make it clear why he is still remembered.
    • 3/5
      Boom Studios has recently made quite a name for themselves in the field of Lovecraftian comics. Fall of Cthulhu easily had the best single story arc series in HPL comics, although I thought the ending was weak. They also are giving us The Calling, a very good new series. Necronomicon was a 4 issue series well worth finding for collectors and Cthulhu Tales is a respectable series of self contained stories. Nyarlathotep carries fascination for most Lovecraftians (in fact, I think Fall of Cthulhu: Nemesis is supposed to be about his origins). This book represents something of a new direction for Boom. It consists of the text of HPL's prose poem, Nyarlathotep, lavishly illstrated by Chuck BB. I must admit I am unfamiliar with Chuck BB's other work. Nyarlathotep is a very nice cloth bound hardcover with an intriguing painting on the slipcover. Page count is 32 but the text and illustrations run from 5-27. List price is $14.99 but Amazon discounts to $11.69. I did not compare the text of Nyarlathotep with any of Joshi's definitive editions. While I have found the prose poem mesmerizing for many years, the reason to by this book is for the illustrations and production values. If you like the image on the cover, you will certainly enjoy the rest of the book. Counting the cover illustration, there are 11 full page, full color illustrations, each representing some passage from the text. While I wished for different passages to be illuminated, and for many more pictures, I was very impressed with Chuck BB's skill. The muted color palate enhanced the peculiar mood conveyed by the text. Sample this if you can before you buy, but I certainly was impressed and will be dipping again into its pages periodically. I hope Boom Studios will give us more illustrated versions of HPL's originals.
