H.P. Lovecraft: The Tomb

One of Lovecraft's early classics in an adapted comic book format. Do ghosts exist? Since childhood Jervas Dudley has visited a secluded and locked tomb on his family's Rhode Island estate. Dudley believes he can commune with the ancestral ghosts who inhabit the tomb, many of whom mysteriously perished during a wicked party over 200 years ago when a fire consumed the Dudley's first estate. Is Dudley mad?

This Lovecraft tale is adapted by award winning comic writer Steven Philip Jones (CALIBER's Sherlock Holmes, Dracula). Lovecraft is considered one of America's most innovative and popular American horror writers. The master of the weird tale during the first decades of the 20th Century until his premature death in 1937, Lovecraft's distinctive style and canon of work has influenced many authors. Jones takes the classic tale and while remaining true to the source, brings them into the modern age which can sometimes make the horror even more terrifying. This tale is illustrated by Octavio Cariello who has worked on DC's Green Lantern, Deathstroke, Black Lightning, and MARVEL's X-Men comic series.

In addition to the comic book adaptation this volume also contains the original published Lovecraft story as written by him.
