H.P. Lovecraft: The Call of Cthulhu

By H P Lovecraft and Steven Philip Jones

THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL FEATURES AN ALL-NEW AUTHORIZED ADAPTATION OF H.P. LOVECRAFT'S GREATEST WEIRD TALE BY STEVEN PHILIP JONES (LOVECRAFT'S WORLDS, LOVECRAFTIAN) AND TREY BALDWIN (SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, LADIES OF MARKET STREET); LOVECRAFT'S CLASSIC SHORT STORY; JONES' ARTICLES ON "CALL OF CTHULHU" AND ON ADAPTING LOVECRAFT INTO THE COMICS MEDIUM; AND A LOVECRAFT BIOGRAPHY.

Something strange is going on in the deepest shadows of the world. It started when the earth was born. One day it will raze mankind. Until then it must remain a secret...A most terribly protected secret.

Professor George Angell spent decades researching the time-scattered clues of a mysterious cult. Then...suddenly... Angell died. Or was he killed? Francis Thurston insists on finding out what really happened to his uncle and believes Angell's research is the key to the truth: a loathsome, abominable secret that has driven the few men who have learned it to madness or suicide. But insanity and death pale to the ravening eons-old horror waiting patiently to be released upon humanity.

"It lumbered slobberingly into sight and gropingly squeezed Its gelatinous green immensity through the black doorway A mountain walked or stumbled " - H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Adaptation Of H.P. Lovecraft's Greatest Weird Tale

By a waterfall, I’m calling Cthulhu. For some reason, this critter is an H.P. Lovecraft (Howard Phillips Lovecraft) classic. I have ordered the 2005 movie. I kept waiting for the action, and somehow it ended before it started. I did not realize how meaningful the title was until the end, when I said, “Oh wow, now I understand. After Francis Wayland Thurston (a professor at Brown University) shuffles off this mortal coil, he leaves papers. His great-nephew, an anthropologist who narrates the story, is shocked to find that France Wayland’s research into what started as a spooky dream to find that he uncovers a cabal of Cthulhu worshipers. But who or what is Cthulhu? We travel with the narrator as he pieces together what Francis suspects. When Cthulhu calls, we may even have to confront him/it ourselves. Buyer tip: check the ISBN, check the page count, and if the author isn’t Lovecraft, assume you’re dealing with an adaptation, a derivative, or a tentacle‑shaped metadata accident.
