Les rêves dans la maison de la sorcière #[nn]

This French graphic novel adaptation of Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch House, brought to life by Mathieu Sapin and Patrick Pion for Rue de Sèvres, opens with a cover that immediately establishes its unsettling atmosphere. A gaunt, hunched figure sits alone in a dimly lit cave-like space, bathed in cold, eerie light that picks out rough stone walls and a crumbling altar or pedestal beside them — dread rendered in quiet, haunting blues and grays. If you appreciate horror that favors creeping unease over cheap shock, this 2016 album looks like a compelling place to lose yourself.
