by Howard Phillips Lovecraft

H.P. Lovecraft's classic work of horror, illustrated in the style of Edward Gorey"The Call of Cthulhu" is the first in a series of H.P. Lovecraft stories illustrated in the art style of cartoonist/illustrator Edward Gorey. Though Gorey illustrated the writing of a large number of writer's work, including H.G. Welles' "War of the Worlds", for some reason, this wonderfully macabre writer/illustrator, never created illustrations of the work of H.P. Lovecraft. Cartoonist Jerry Voigt imagines what Lovecraft's work might have looked like if they had been illustrated by Gorey. The First in a SeriesStarting with "The Call of Cthulhu", Lovecraft's most famous story, Voigt will continue to release volumes of Lovecraft's stories illustrated in Gorey style. Fans of these two amazing artists can enjoy an imagining of what might have been.
