Synopsis "H. P. Lovecraft: The Shadow Over Innsmouth"

The decaying town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts has an unhealthy reputation. Nearby citizens shun it. You won't find it on any maps. And the denizens just don't look right. They just don't. Maybe it's something in the water? Robert Loveless is trying to escape the lurking fear of insanity cursing his bloodline when his quest lures him to the town of Innsmouth. As Loveless wanders the tumbledown streets past homes and buildings of departed grandeur, he uncovers the town's awful past from a half-crazed old drunk named Zadok Allen. A shadow reaching out from before the dawn of history is haunting Innsmouth, and now that Loveless has learned the truth its denizens want him to stay there...forever.This graphic novel features an all-new authorized adaptation of one of H. P. Lovecraft's most popular weird tales by Steven Philip Jones (H. P. Lovecraft's Worlds, Lovecraftian) and Trey Baldwin (Ladies of Market Street), Lovecraft's seminal novella, a Lovecraft biography, and Jones's article on adapting Lovecraft into comics updated for this edition."Where does reality leave off and madness begin?" - H. P. Lovecraft, The Shadow over Innsmouth

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (Providence, August 20, 1890-Providence, March 15, 1937) better known as H. P. Lovecraft, was an American writer, author of stories and novels of horror and science fiction.

He is considered a great innovator of the horror story, to which he contributed his own mythology —the Cthulhu Mythos—, developed in collaboration with other authors, currently in force.

His work constitutes a classic of cosmic horror, a narrative line that deviates from traditional supernatural horror stories —satanism, ghosts—, including elements of science fiction such as, for example, alien races, time travel, or the existence of other dimensions.
