The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft

Hi CA,

I've been a longtime lurker and this is my first post after finishing a long project: The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft. Our book will be published by Image Comics in April, 2009.

Here's a short blurb on the book:

Toiling away as a timid and eccentric writer of pulp horror stories, H.P. Lovecraft, is powerless in the world... in love with a girl who doesn't love him back, mired in a profession that inspires no respect and frozen in the grip of a terrible writer's block. Until one day when everything changes. Lovecraft comes in contact with an ancient book that passes onto him an insidious curse: whenever he sleeps, his darkest nightmares come true and are loosed on the world. Suddenly, this shy and bumbling writer becomes both an unwitting god of destruction and the only man who can fight the wickedness he unleashes. It's a fantastical revision of the life and work of H.P. Lovecraft, a story in the mold of the classic Universal horror movies. A weird tale indeed.

Fantastic!

I can't wait for this, I'm a huge Lovecraft fan.
The art looks great, good style different than a lot of typical comic books.
Good story idea too.

Trailer was awesome.

I love the old school look combined with the modern art style.

I've been aware of this book for what seems like years now. While the concept remains the same, I recall all the promo material had quite a different style applied to it back when I first came across the project. A lot more crsip and stylized. I seem to recall a short story of Lovecraft you had online that had him fighting a giant eldritch plant monster terrorizing a woman in her greenhouse. Whatever the case, what I'm seeing now looks equally engaging and I can now finall look forward to reading it :)

Man, I'm always interested in Lovecraft works!

I like the drawings of the novel and the trailer have a music that just fits in the mood!

Very nice!
