Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Pretty good graphic novelization. Culbard lets the pictures do their thousand word thing and leaves out most of Lovecraft's purple prose for just the spare dialog. Almost anti-Lovecraft which is refreshing for a Lovecraft novelization. After building the suspense, a little weak on the payoff; I would have liked to have seen more of the chase by the shoggoths. Unless you've read the story by Lovecraft, which I assume almost all readers have, the menace of the shoggoths is a little vague. Why exactly are they so scary? I guess we presume they are the perpetrators for what happened to the others.
It is not only that Culbard has so cunningly boiled down Lovecraft's rather weighty novel, leaving its exciting plot free to breathe; it's also that his superb ligne claire drawings so effortlessly evoke both the world of Tintin, and the Edwardian science fiction of HG Wells and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

This is a tale of terror. The barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found strange fossils of unheard-of-creatures, carved stones tens of millions of years old and, finally, the unspeakable, mind-twisting terror of the City of the Old Ones.

Presented in the wonderful drawings, this story was truly augmented and presented in the most cinematic way possible. Story itself follows the original Lovecraft's novel but manages to create the pressure of unseen terror, always that something lurking from within shadows without making the visual presentation difficult to the eyes.
Excellent adaptations, highly recommended to all fans of horor and especially Lovecraft. ( )
