PDF H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of



            Cthulhu (Manga) (H.P. Lovecraft


            Manga) by Gou Tanabe,Zack



            Davisson






            H.P. Lovecraft's most famous horror story, rendered in chilling detail by modern manga horror master Gou
            Tanabe! The complete graphic novel in one volume, faithfully reproducing the original Japanese release,
            featuring a title page in silver ink, eight pages in full color, and eerie metallic copper tones and spot color on
            the cover. What links together two bands of worshippers, one deep in the Arctic snows, one hidden in the
            bayous of Louisiana, is more than their shared practice of blood sacrifice. It is the inhuman phrase they both
            chant: Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn—“In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits
            dreaming.” Now these nightmares will disturb the sanity of Francis Thurston, a young man pursuing an
            investigation into the cult of Cthulhu that leads to the most forsaken spot in the vast Pacific…and to Earth’s
            supreme terror, the risen corpse-city of R’lyeh. First published in 1928, The Call of Cthulhu, rendered in
            chilling detail by modern manga horror master Gou Tanabe, is the most famous of all of H.P. Lovecraft’s
            stories, and was the namesake of the acclaimed role-playing game system set within the Cthulhu Mythos. “I
            love H.P. Lovecraft…It 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.”— Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Black Paradox)
