Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Great graphic adaptations of four of H.P. Lovecraft's longer novellas: The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, At the Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Out of Time -- all but one ('Charles Dexter Ward') favourites of mine too. INJ Culbard's spare style works well to make these works accessible, while preserving much of the original texts. Culbard makes great use of darkness in his panels, to give the sense of a torchlight swallowed in cyclopean gloom, or to show stars or the moon, or the face of Nyarlathotep. I had read the latter two adaptations separately before, but I was delighted to find that INJ Culbard had illustrated 'Dream Quest' and 'Charles Dexter Ward', each of which has come out well, though maybe with a touch less attention to detail than the previously-published two. Wishlist: An adaptation of The Haunter of the Dark would have perfected this collection. Opening and closing the collection with 'Dream Quest' and 'The Shadow Out of Time' reminded me of the parallels between those two -- a man in each driven to explore his tantalising and terrible dreams to the utmost. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
In Providence, Rhode Island, a dangerous inmate disappears from a hospital for the insane. At Miskatonic University, a professor slumps into a five-year reverie. In a mysterious and vivid dreamworld, a melancholy man seeks the home of the gods. And in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, polar explorers unearth secrets that reveal a past almost beyond comprehension--and a future too terrible to imagine. Graphic novelist I.N.J. Culbard gives terrifying form to four classic tales by H.P. Lovecraft: "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath," "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," "At The Mountains of Madness," and "The Shadow Out of Time." Expertly adapted and beautifully drawn, Culbard's lean and thrilling adaptations breathe new life into four stories that helped to reinvent the horror genre.
