Review

H.P. Lovecraft was known as the leading author of supernatural fiction in his time. This version of "The Call of Cthulhu" strays a bit from the original work, but does make it easier to follow if the reader in not familiar with Lovecraft's works. The illustration are deep and dark with an old school gothic style that fits the tale.

As with all of the Dark Tales series, there is an introduction that explains the publishing and background of the story along with the Dramatics Personae of the characters involved.

Readers might want to become familiar with H.P. Lovecraft before attempting to read this graphic novel. Recommended for grades 10 and up

Overall Book Score: fair
