A review by zare_i
The Lovecraft Anthology, Volume 1 by H.P. Lovecraft
4.0
Interesting collection of graphic novel adaptations of the Lovecraft's short stories.
Art is a mixed bag for me but in overall it is good. Only thing that might cause the "problems" here is that all stories are written in the similar manner and so after a while there might be a feeling of saturation. This happened to me when I read Conan anthologies - stories that were very much written in the same way might bore the modern reader (since now we have similar authors and stories published every so often so there is no that awe moment present) so my advice with works of this type is to spread it across longer time period (which is the way they were published and meant to be read).
So all in all good collection, recommended to fans of horror and Lovecraft especially.
