Product Description
Title: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward <>Binding: Paperback <>Author: H.P.Lovecraft <>Publisher: Selfmadehero
Review
As a spot of meta-commentary, Charles Dexter Ward himself is depicted as a smirking, all-knowing Lovecraft doppelganger a troubled young man, isolated from friends, family and the outside world, and obsessed with his own macabre mythology. Critical theory suggests that this is just what HP Lovecraft intended. Well, he can rest easy, as in this take on The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward, his cry for help has finally been heard. --Sci-Fi Now Magazine
I haven t read the original. Haven t really ventured far into Lovecraft at all. But this just works, a deeply psychological chiller, beautifully done. --Forbidden Planet

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Good. Culbard, I.N.J. (illustrator). 0. With creepy, spooky art, and sinister, suspenseful text, I. N. J. Culbard brings new life-and death-to H. P. Lovecrafts psychological mystery of forbidden knowledge and pursuits. Young Charles Dexter Ward is fascinated by the history of Joseph Curwen, his wizard ancestor of the 17th century. Curwen was notorious for haunting graveyards, practicing alchemy, and never aging! Ward cant help his fixation: He himself looks just like Curwen. In an attempt to duplicate his ancestors cabbalistic feats, he resurrects the fearsome Curwen . . . and then the true horror begins!Praise for The Case of Charles Dexter Ward:Culbard triumphs in bringing to life a story that isn't inherently visual. Another success by one of the best modern translators of the endlessly popular scribe. -BooklistThis is really the best way to enjoy Lovecraft. -Boing BoingCulbard brings the classic tale to life, and his work will very likely entice readers who enjoy the macabre to seek out the original novel. -PublishersWeekly.comIf youre looking for chills, you'll find them here. -Scripps Howard News ServiceCulbard illustrates this tale of life everlasting-replete with ancient lore and sinister networks crossing the boundaries of reason, morality and science-in appropriately dark and lurid colors. -The Milwaukee Shepherd ExpressIt's been something of a renaissance for H.P. Lovecraft comics over the last couple of years thanks to SelfMadeHero. -Houston Press Art Attack blogWere giving it an ichor-dripping thumbs up. -The Austin Chronicle Under the Covers blogRich details in his drawings cull out the storys shadows and the sadness that lurks behind the fearsome details. Culbard masterfully controls the pacing as well, creating suspense and shock through his elegant pages. -Graphic Novel Reporter. Seller Inventory # SONG1906838356
