Written by H. P. Lovecraft. Art and cover by Gary Gianni.

Written in 1928, H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu defined the ancient gods as dark creatures who came from the stars and ruled the world before mankind. When these ancient ones awaken, humanity is plagued by a nightmare of terrors etched upon an epic backdrop.

The author's concept deeply redefined the horror story with this thrilling, dense mystery that spawned a virtual genre. The artist Gary Gianni and designer Marcelo Anciano both felt that Lovecraft's short story presented an opportunity to visually expand the Cthulhu Mythos and push the boundaries of illustrated books.

The Call of Cthulhu, as illustrated by Gary Gianni, is a fusion of cinematic design, the graphic novel and illustrated books. Over a hundred finished pencil drawings with color pieces enhance and bring to life the work of two visionaries in an extraordinary feat of storytelling and art.

Softcover, 112 pages, Text (with full color and B&W Chapter Illustrations).

1st printing. By H. P. Lovecraft. H. P. Lovecrafts fiction reveals a universe that is vaster, darker, and stranger than anything previously imagined. His cosmic horror reflects a peculiarly modern philosophical belief system in which human beings are regarded as insignificant in light of the vastness of time and space. The especially Lovecraftian twist on this apocalyptic premise is that it is alien forces and powers at work in the universe that possess the potential for the ultimate destruction of mankind. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 464 pages. Text Only. Cover price $12.95.

Written by H. P. Lovecraft. Art and cover by Francois Baranger.

H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu, first published in 1928, is one of the greatest classics of American horror literature.

Cthulhu himself, dreaming and waiting at the bottom of the sea, became a symbol for the entire mythology that Lovecraft created. François Baranger, an illustrator who has previously worked in film and games, was fascinated early on by Lovecraft's creatures and visions which populated the darkest recesses of fantasy.

In this book, he has taken on the work of illustrating Lovecraft's most iconic novel.
