Picture This: Lovecraft

HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT had a wonderful gift for accessing that dark recess of the reader’s mind where atavistic foreboding lurks, nourishing it with scenarios of dread at the malignant and petrifying unknown, both in the physical world around us and our innermost presentiments.

Of the quartet of stories in the graphic volume Lovecraft, adapted and illustrated by INJ Culbard, The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward are regarded as among his best.
