Les chefs-d'œuvre de Lovecraft #8

Gou Tanabe's manga adaptation of Lovecraft's Shadow Over Innsmouth continues with this second tome, part of Ki-oon's beautifully produced "Chefs-d'œuvre de Lovecraft" series. The cover is all brooding atmosphere — rendered in deep teal and black, a massive, grotesque fish-creature dominates the composition, its enormous unblinking eye and jagged maw filling the frame while smaller aquatic horrors lurk in the shadowy background. Tanabe's intricate linework gives the Deep Ones a genuinely unsettling weight, making this 2022 volume a treat for fans of literary horror done justice in comics form.
