Peter Bergting

I don't like sequels or re-imaginings very much but Joe Lansdale does tell a good story and treats the material with the respect a fan would demand. Peter Bergting did what he could to illustrate a monster that Lovecraft meant to be indescribable. I grumbled at Menton3's turning the text into calligraphy but I came to appreciate it. His work did elevate this bloody pulp thriller into a fine piece of Gothic art.

The tpb edition of this graphic novel contains an adaptation of the title story and one of "The Hound." "The Dunwich Horror" is crap (who the hell thought that turning a story about an invisible monster into a graphic novel was a good idea?), but "The Hound" more than makes up for it.

This was a really enjoyable graphic novel to break up my work day with. A very fast read. This is actually two stories The Dunwich Horror and The Hound. The first story was the stronger of the two for me but only because the second story was practically impossible to read. The script font they selected was really small and the scratchy to imply a hand written account, which looked really cool but the reality was that I had to guess on a number of words since I couldn't truly read all of show more them. Overall though it is a nice addition to the lovecraftian collected works. show less

A wonderful fairy tale with Baltic influences about the coming of age tale of a young girl. Jennie the girl has a legacy of supernatural dealings. The book has a fine storyline and likable and magical characters. The book was short but the Russian Fairy tales were very good.
