You’ve read HP Lovecraft books, watched adaptations of his work on the big screen, and even played a few games featuring his creepy creations. But have you ever read an HP Lovecraft manga? Back in 2016, manga creator Gou Tanabe adapted Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness, one of the most infamous stories by the author. This has been available in two volumes for a while, but for a better option, you can pick up a new hardcover deluxe edition of the manga published by Dark Horse on July 9. Plus, it’s on sale for a steep discount.
This deluxe edition features wrap-around cover art with soft-touch lamination and spot gloss, 100 gsm wood-free paper, several pages in full color, a title page in silver ink, foil gilding on the edges of the book block, and a satin ribbon bookmark. Normally $50, you can pick it up for just $34 at Amazon. Inside, you’ll find illustrated nightmare fuel from Tanabe, who manages to bring Lovecraft’s stories to life with his artistic talents.
The cover art above doesn’t really do this 626-page hardcover justice. If you check out the customer reviews on the listing, you’ll see a user-uploaded image of the mammoth deluxe edition, and it looks absolutely stunning.
“In 1931, an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead,” the plot synopsis reads. “Some are hideously mangled, as if in rage–some have been dissected in a curious and cold-blooded manner. One man is missing. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby, for under its five points is another mass grave–and what lies there is not remotely human.”
In case you’d like to check out some of Tanabe’s other Lovecraft adaptations, several more are available. HP Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu will be released on October 15, and you can also pick up adaptations of The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Hound.
