Synopsis "H.P. Lovecraft: The Call of Cthulhu (in English)"

THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL FEATURES AN ALL-NEW AUTHORIZED ADAPTATION OF H.P. LOVECRAFT'S GREATEST WEIRD TALE BY STEVEN PHILIP JONES (LOVECRAFT'S WORLDS, LOVECRAFTIAN) AND TREY BALDWIN (SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, LADIES OF MARKET STREET); LOVECRAFT'S CLASSIC SHORT STORY; JONES' ARTICLES ON "CALL OF CTHULHU" AND ON ADAPTING LOVECRAFT INTO THE COMICS MEDIUM; AND A LOVECRAFT BIOGRAPHY.Something strange is going on in the deepest shadows of the world. It started when the earth was born. One day it will raze mankind. Until then it must remain a secret...A most terribly protected secret.Professor George Angell spent decades researching the time-scattered clues of a mysterious cult. Then...suddenly... Angell died. Or was he killed? Francis Thurston insists on finding out what really happened to his uncle and believes Angell's research is the key to the truth: a loathsome, abominable secret that has driven the few men who have learned it to madness or suicide. But insanity and death pale to the ravening eons-old horror waiting patiently to be released upon humanity."It lumbered slobberingly into sight and gropingly squeezed Its gelatinous green immensity through the black doorway! A mountain walked or stumbled!" - H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (Providence, 20 de agosto de 1890-Providence, 15 de marzo de 1937) más conocido como H. P. Lovecraft, fue un escritor estadounidense, autor de relatos y novelas de terror y ciencia ficción.

Se le considera un gran innovador del cuento de terror, al que aportó una mitología propia —los Mitos de Cthulhu—, desarrollada en colaboración con otros autores, actualmente en vigencia.

Su obra constituye un clásico del horror cósmico, una línea narrativa que se aparta de las tradicionales historias de terror sobrenatural —satanismo, fantasmas—, incluyendo elementos de ciencia ficción como, por ejemplo, razas alienígenas, viajes en el tiempo o existencia de otras dimensiones.
