H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth (Manga)
A new manga adaptation of the only H.P. Lovecraft story published as a book during his lifetime, by modern horror master Gou Tanabe!
In the winter of 1927-28, the isolated coastal settlement of Innsmouth, Massachusetts was assaulted by U.S. government agentsâits waterfront burned and dynamited, its people taken away to internment camps.
Yet that was neither the beginning nor the end of the horror uncovered by a young antiquarian who travelled to Innsmouth in search of rumours from the town's dead past, only to find them still very much alive...and find truths lying under water deeper and colder than any earthly grave!
This book includes a tip-in title page in silver ink and 12 pages in full colour!
âI love H.P. LovecraftâŠIt would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft's stories. Afterwards, I ended up not doing it because I thought I wouldn't be as good as Gou's version.ââJunji Ito (Uzumaki, Venus in the Blind Spot)
