“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P. Lovecraft
Too bad he used his fear to be the most racist man in Providence RI
Yeah, but can fear of the unknown beat Goku tho?
“Imma name my cat the n-word” hp Lovecraft
@@wumbojet let's just forget he literally lives in one of the most racist times.
What you gonna do, cancel a dead man?
@@ringkunmori in fact, yes. Cthulhu would legit just mind r*pe goku to death
Welcome to the cult of Lovecraft. At the Mountains of Madness is one of my favourites, and it seems like this manga is a surprisingly faithful adaption.
I remember seeing this at a Barns and Nobles one time. Almost bought it but had to pick something else. Makes me want to buy it now.
I hope Gou Tanabe does Shadow out of Innsmouth I consider that to be one of Lovecrafts most genuinely horrifying works of his collection
@@michaelcrabbe3722
Not sure if you've found out about this yet, but Gou Tanabe is indeed doing "The Shadow over Innsmouth." It releases next month, in November.
@@kamikazelemming1552 not really I read the adaptation of Shadow out of Time and I consider their work to be a good adaptation of Lovecrafts stories but personally how do I put it
I prefer the original but I’m more so interested in how they’ll adapt the story since Lovecraft’s prose is somewhat superfluous in eccentricity and archaic fashion
I will check it out tho
I’ve never honestly gotten though the obsession with Mountains of Madness it’s a great story but I’m much more drawn towards stuff like The Whisperer in the Darkness or The Shadow out of Time when it comes to Lovecraft
Horror fantasy and Cosmic Horror hits different like instead of a monster attacking you there’s a shadow demon hunting you stalking watching you or the fact that you are an Ant to such creatures with power that can’t be understood
Cosmic Horror myth embodies both the "fuck around" and the "find out" philosophy of life.
"Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin."
- Locust Preacher (Dark Souls III)
This is the best discovery of H.P. Lovecraft since his cat’s name
I just googled that💀💀💀💀
it wasn't him giving that name tho
@@bj_cat103 what? It was his cat. He named it that.
@@itsanoformedawg it was his grandfather/father's one
@@Alice-he2zh H. P. Lovecraft also made a tribute to the cat by giving its name to the cat in the 1923 short story The Rats in the Walls.[2] The cat's name would be changed to "Blackie" or "Black Tom" in some of the later reprints of the story.
During American horror fiction writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft's childhood, his family owned several cats.[1] The oldest of the cats, named Nigger-Man, which the family likely acquired and named in 1899, disappeared in 1904 when Lovecraft was 14 years old. In his correspondence, H. P. Lovecraft reminisces about the cat in several of his letters (extracts shown below).The name of the cat seen to be a dark breed of Ragdoll, "Nigger-Man", has often been cited in discussions of Lovecraft's racial attitudes. Lovecraft owned a cat by that name until 1904. The cat had likely been given its name when Lovecraft was about age nine.
Reading the manga honestly gave me new found respect for deadspace3 and how much it thrived on the mountain of madness. Some of John carpenters films were influenced by H.P Lovecraft
Oh fuck
You just made me notice that
Thank you for getting the Cat joke out the way immediately. Not that I give a fuck about the context, but the comments of HP inspired video usually flood the comments like it was the funniest most original shit in the world.
Fr it's kinda funny but also old as hell
Well I mean his racism is going to acknowledged by most people even hardcore Lovecraft fans, he was excellent at his craft and a master at what he did but it's still funny that he puts horrors of the unknown on the same pedestal as horrors of a different race
@@blameitone2476 Problem is like at this point someone like him being racist should be something that makes us say "oh, well for the time that was normal", and use it as a meme, but I've talked with ppl who use the meme, and they consider it an actual issue, and its like??? yeah he was racist, whatever we all know it and the guy's long dead, and we're on it for his stories not for who he was
@@blameitone2476 but it wasn't him who game the name to the cat
@@bj_cat103 so who did? You can't just say that and then not tsay who gave the cat the name.
I always thought if Gou Tanabe adapted Lovecraft's dream cycle, it'll be the best Isekai ever.
wait isekai?
@@McDudes Yes. Lovecraft's "Dream Cycle" can only be accessed through dreams.
@@NeAyumu I guess thats kinda isekai but in dreams and not "you die and gets transported into another world"
@@McDudes You don't need to die in order to be transported in another world, when you can visit those said places through dreams.
Honestly seeing an anime or manga version of the stories of Randall Carter or Hypnos would be incredible.
Dude I recently bought a complete fiction volume of HP Lovecraft. He’s my favourite author. His concepts are so interesting and genuinely scary to me.
Get these mangas😊
I’m just appreciating the fact that you used Hail The Nightmare as the background music
Lovecraft fiction has so much untapped potential it's a shame people only have a surface level idea of the Cthulhu Mythos. Personally, I think you can make an amazing manga off the dreamlands as most of the God characters are byproducts of the collective unconscious and thus are fueled on belief.
Best site to read manga?
There is a manga called Ghost Reaper Girl whose characters are based on Lovecraftian lore. But that's about all there is that is has in common with Lovecraft, as the story and themes aren't Lovecraftian at all. Still fun to see stuff like Nyarlathotep being depicted as a hot gyaru waifu. It's done by the mangaka behind Rosario + Vampire and it's currently on an indefinite hiatus.
So much so that people have called it the "Cuthulu Mythos" when in fact, Howard has always referred to it as the "Yogg'Sothothory."
Children are born with a fear of heights and loud noises, fear is just like hunger, an urge to survive. That's one reason why h.p. Lovecraft, Junji Ito and some other horror stories hit the way they do.
The dog joke at the beginning was golden 🤣
Gou tanabe is probably one of the best manga artist of all time. His other adaptions are also amazing
Now bro's gotta do the elden ring manga
The manga is legit so funny and good

In medias res, (Latin: “in the midst of things”) the practice of beginning an epic or other narrative by plunging into a crucial situation that is part of a related chain of events; the situation is an extension of previous events and will be developed in later action.
Yay my favorite youtuber getting into my 2nd favorite genre. This is a great place to start with Lovecraft and I think "At the Mountains of Madness" is one of my favorites. this really did its job as an adaptation, the art also really helps build the atmosphere as well as making it easier to read and understand. I can understand what you mean when you say it was a bit exposition dumpy but I think that is more so a result of this being a manga but you do get used to it when reading Lovecraft. If you want more Lovecraft suggestions I think that, "The Whisperer in darkness" is a good option.
"It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.”- At the Mountains of Madness H.P. Lovecraft
Cheers 🥂
@Ywach seinen. I love the characters
I find it interesting to have a manga adaptation of Lovecraft's stories. Only because reading them and having your brain conjure the visuals adds to the horror. Like for instance that panel of the old ones, just being able to give them form makes them more understandable.
By far my favorite aspect of the old gods is just the madness that is azathoth. The entirety of the universe is azathoths dream, deities play music around him constantly to keep him lulled into a slumber so as to prevent him from waking and the entire universe dissipating.
That kind of cosmic horror very clearly comes from an understanding of how small our place in the universe is. All life on earth could easily be snuffed out by a bit of cosmic space debris, the fact there is life here in the first place is a miracle as we are ostensibly a dust particle in space terms. It is literally a Horton hears a who situation.
I appreciate the Bloodborne OST in the background, hits just right
I own this manga, it’s an amazing read and I love how well it’s done towards the store.
I remember listening to the audio version of this while watching it come to life on youtube. H.P. Lovecraft is one of if not my all time favorite author, I love his works and I’m glad he’s getting more and more recognition even to this day!
Yo I was just doing a English writing assignment on hp lovecraft he was honestly a weird but good writer
Mountains of Madness was the first H.P. Story I read, and this seems spot on, perfect adaptation
Wasn’t Guillermo del toro making a movie out of this?
Yup
all the Tanabe adaptation of Lovecraft are masterpiece. His art gives a push up (or down) to each story. A must have (all of his production, expecialli the premium big format to appreciate the visual)
I got into horror reading Lovecraft's complete collection when I was still in late middle school. I've since read almost every book by the big guys like Stephen King, Richard Laymon, Jack Ketchum, Robert McCamon, Bentley Little, Peter Straub, Dan Simmons and hundreds of others. I also mostly only enjoy manga and comics that fall into the horror genre as well. Love it.
The whole Gou Tanabe Lovecraft manga adaptations have been released in France but I can assure you they’re all on the same level of horror and creepiness than this manga
Man, you’ll love blade of the phantom master, the berserk of manhwa:)))
I watched this Manga on a youtube channel that covers H.P. Lovecraft's work,
I thought the channel owner drew the comic by themselves, had no idea it was a real manga.
LMAO the channel owner should create a new manga with that art
I think the perfect summary of Lovecraft's work, and cosmic horror in general can be found in the first paragraph of the Call of Cthulhu.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human
mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance
in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should
voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto
harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge
will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position
therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the
deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
In essence, we are staggeringly insignificant things that believe the universe revolves around us, and when we truly test that premise, we are quickly and mercilessly put in our place.
There's also a short manga on hp Lovecraft's "the outsider" it is saddening, beautiful and disturbing.
You didn't touch on this part in the review, but near the end when Dyer and Danforth are flying the plane and then Danforth sees something in the mountains and starts screaming, what exactly it was that he saw was later explained by Lovecraft in a letter to his friend:
"What the thing was supposed to be, of course, was a region containing vestiges of some utterly primal cosmic force or process ruling or occupying the earth (among other planets) even before its solidification, & upheaved from the sea-bottom when the great Antarctic land mass arose. Lack of interest in the world beyond the inner mountains would account of its non-reconquest of the sphere. But then again, there may have been no such thing! Those Others may well have had their superstitions -- & of course Danforth was strangely read, nervously organised, & fresh from a terrific shock.... Anyhow, what I did set down was a sort of weak compromise betwist the two ways I vaguely & ineffectively thought it ought to be."
Lovecraft himself actually was not satisfied with how he handled the ending, and considered writing either a sequel or an expansion of the original story that would focus on the thing that Danforth saw, but of course neither of those ever ended up happening, because 1) At the Mountains of Madness was recieved very poorly when it released and essentially ended Lovecraft's career (despite the fact that these days it's one of his most popular works), and 2) Lovecraft fell into deep depression and then passed away just a year after ATMOM was published.
By the way, Gou Tanabe has a bunch of other Lovecraft manga adaptations, you should check them out when you get a chance. Tanabe's art is a perfect match for Lovecraft's fiction.
I thought you'd be a big Lovecraft fan and had read most of his works. I'm happy you're digging his work! I haven't read Mountains of Madness yet but the others are bangers too.
Per your conclusion about what Lovecraft aims for, that's one half of it. Cthulu, The Colour from Outer Space, Mountains of Madness, they do that, but there's another half that I like a lot better.
Simply Knowing is a Curse.
Idk if it counts as "The Curse of Knowledge" but in both Pickman's Model and the Music of Erik Zahn the main character wishes they never saw or knew what they saw or knew. It messes with their head how the person they met is..."co-existing" so to speak with these horrors.
Cosmic Horror is realizing we are all just wet farts during a stage 5 hurricane. -Yah Boi Lovecraft
Read an audiobook on the call of Cthulhu!
The best thing about the art here is how blessedly UNmanga-esque it all looks. That is to say, It's really well done and does not smell like wet penguin poop. Is this book available in digital form somewhere? Thanks for posting! And in the name of the *_unspeakable_* (one of HPL's favorite adjectives): _READ SOME LOVECRAFT!_
EDIT: BTW, I strongly recommend *The Cult of Cthulhu* as illustrated by Esteban Maroto, a real thing of beauty.
It's fascinating how much influence Lovecraft's works have had, given that he pretty much failed to have any success during his life. Some of the biggest game franchises have references to the mythos or take direct inspiration from it such as the Dead Space series, the Elder Scrolls series, the Soulsborne games and even the mobile game Fate Grand Order has it sprinkled throughout. Then you have the survival horror genre, whose foundations were laid by the first Alone in the Dark game which was very Lovecraft heavy and that doesn't even get into movies and books.
Love this! Nice analysis Masked!
One interesting thing that happened to me while reading this was that even though I told myself to only read one more chapter and then go to bed, I couldn't help myself to continue reading until I reached the end. Much like the characters in the book telling each other to go back to camp after just taking one more step into the caves...
U perfectly summed up what cosmic horror is about.
And yeah Lovecrafts works are pretty much tell don't show.
Most of his stories are from the pov of a person researching what happened.
I have that and the short few of his stories made my same mangaka
You should create TH-cam shorts of short story mangas or short descriptions of mangas you would put people on. Love your videos and wish you the best man ✌🏽❤
This seems like a interesting read! One question though is H.P. Lovecraft’s cat in it?
Hmmm hopefully
You mean ni...
I can't get over that cat. What a Maniac that guy was
huh what's up with the cat?
No, his cat is in "Rats in the walls" or however it's called
More people needs to read Tanabe Gou's works. Please cover his other works like Shadow over Insmouth and Call of Cthulhu.
ppl sleep on Shadow out of Time but that has always been a favorite of mine. I know they will never adapt The Mound which is my favorite story though
I want to start out by saying that I don't really read much manga. I tend to stick to books of pure prose and write in the same format. I have a lot of fun watching your videos though, and I have to say you have a great channel here. I love tuning in.
ALL THAT being said. Never again shall I delve into any facet of the Lovecraft Mythos without thinking of the Elder Things vs Cthulhu's Spawn as the Bloods vs Krips.
Yeah, if you got the sense that part of the graphic novel was an exposition dump, much of the same happened in the source material. The Mountains of Madness was one of his longest stories, and for me I get a sense of fatigue going through them. his writing is something of an acquired taste, but thankfully most of his body of work is made up of shorter stories to cut your teeth on.
Lovecraft's horror rings so close to home for Japanese writers and artists, because they get having their greatest fears manifesting as something that's completely out of their control. I know you've read Junji Ito's work, and basically every story he writes is about humans, the strongest and most advanced lifeform on this planet, getting redpilled on how tenuous and fleeting their control actually is of this planet, and how limited our understanding is of the surrounding universe. Like, just imagine for a moment: even with all the advancements NASA has made, we can't even accurately monitor objects that are between us and the sun. The light and radiation mess with our instruments too much. As such, we're frequently confronted with civilization-threatening objects that just barely brush by our gravitational well, or even enter our atmosphere, and we have zero time to prepare or even tell others about it. On the flip side, there's an unofficial planet on the edge of our solar system, known only as Planet X, cause scientists can't come to a consensus on whether it actually exists or not. Lovecraft's horror isn't about what Man knows, but rather getting a glimpse of what we don't know, and running for his life once he gets the tiniest understanding of that newfound wisdom.
OH SWEET SOLOMON KANE, THAT ARTWORK!!!
It's like Manga artstylings combined with Pulp novel illustrations, and it's amazing!
Plus, if you are a Berserk fan and the Godhand are an interesting concept, then going with the works of Lovecraft or Howard is pretty much the way to go if you're looking for good Western material. Miura obviously had a love for Eldritch Horror and things beyond human comprehension, but I don't know if he read Robert E Howard's works or saw any Lovecraft films, but he did have similar ideas to them (maybe it's a Stabd Alone complex or something, idk.) Basically, if you liked the seemingly incomprehensible nature of the Apostles or the Idea of Evil, Howie's got you covered with literally two decades worth of material.
Bro I'm so glad you have a video on The Boxer manhwa(Korean manga) Yu is A GOD!! Anyone who like super badasses like Madara, Aizen, Gojo, 7deadly sins Pride, dbz broly, ect NEEDS to read it (or watch it like we did on "black mastadonte" TH-cam page, we read manhwas on there)
You are truly a man of culture, lord nux would be proud if he knew what the boxer was
I'm not that big into his lovecraftian books But the movie adaptations seems very good and his work has been converted into manga cool
I wish I could talk more, but yeah uh this is a cool video. Just wanna help out w/ the algorithm and everything being how it is! :)
Looks absolutely great and does it justice with the effort presented as for Lovecraft
(don’t search up the cats Name)
Best site to read manga?
@@benjaminramsey498 the cat was given a absolutely wild name one not even a lunatic would think of
The name of the cat was "Nigger man" if anyone's wondering.
I need to grab this up. Artwork is amazing. Thnks for the vid.
Cosmic horror is my happy place. I love movies like Annihilation or Bird Box that touch it, the dread of the unknown and uncomprehensible. There's something comforting in the knowledge that we don't matter in the grand scheme of things. For someone who feels perpetually guilty and depressed, my first encounter with this kind of horror was both terrifying and liberating.
Good video, will definitely check out more of your uploads! And your voice sounds just fine, in my opinion, not too deep or too high.
The book 'Annihilation' is way better than the movie. It conveys a cosmic horror that isn't even shown in the movie. Plus it's a trilogy and very weird.
You should read "Out of the aeons", it was the first tale I read from HP, and it marked me as a child.
My Brother in Law is a big fan of H.P Lovecraft and I bought him this set 2 years ago for Christmas. He really liked it! 😊
I bought a copy of both volumes at a manga shop in San Francisco. It was a fantastic read! Highly recommend.
The art looks amazing
Damn, Lovecraft is my favourite author ever. I don't see his works as horror tho; for me, "cosmic horror" has always been dark fantasy, or "cosmic fantasy" since cosmic horror is a product of its time and i find it really hard to believe that I'm our age, in this part of the world (The Americas) anyone really feels fear because of his stories, since we've very well accepted there are aliens far more advanced than us.
But nonetheless, his entire library is phenomenal, the man was really gifted with an amazing imagination.
H.P Lovecraft’s stories I think, are the most powerful pieces of horror in media, that truly gets to me.
H.P. Lovecraft gives me the willies easily and horror videos are my bag
H.P LoveCraft is one of the most underrated authors ever
If you can get past how wordy LoveCraft gets sometimes, the sort of Cosmic horror he portrays will literally leave you with existential dread
Lovecraft is one of most popular authors out there, maybe it doesn't seem that way because his work is so difficult to properly adapt.
Or if you can get past the part where he forgot maths
Underrated? He's one of the most influential horror authors.
@@historicflame972 or if you can get past his racism lmao.
@@historicflame972 wdym he forgot maths?
The ancients are some of the most tragic characters H.P Lovecraft invented.
Imagine waking up after millions of years only to discover that everyone you knew, your world and your entire civilisation are just gone.
In their perspective they just fell asleep out of nowere only to wake up and see that a bunch of alien creatures kidnapped them and KILLED some of their own.
Their act of aggression was a primal reaction to what they saw as a threat, especially because of those darn dogs.
They were just as scared and confused as the humans in the story, they are not even evil, they are morally like us.
The ancients are some of the most human-like creatures in the mythos, in the right circumstance maybe the human explorers might have been able to comunicate with them peacefully as equals.
But now, as the shoggoth slaughtered all of them, their kind is no more, and their civilisation, despite all their strugles to survive and their victories, Is gone forever.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

Man i love hp lovecraft works especially the lores behind cthullu and dagon etc
I am still waiting on your Billy Bat review
Ayo cuh Lovecraft with the fade 🙏💦
There are also a manga adaptation of Crime and Punishment and The Count of Monte Cristo. Both are very good.
Goe Tanabe seems to be pretty legit with his LOvecraft adaptations I recommend The Shadow out of Time another Lovecraft work adapted by Tanabe which is about a guy who gets mindnapped by cosmic entities
Check out john carpenter's "The Thing" since you enjoyed this story. It's VERY similar yet really different. It's fantastic at building suspense and has a vast sorta helpless cosmic horror aspect to it
I have seen the video but Lovecraft tends to be cosmic horror so I'm assuming this video is about that, "the thing" doesn't have any cosmic horror, is a great movie tho
That man gave me a funny cat name
Dark Horse announced they would be releasing more hp lovecraft adaptations by Gou Tanabe in english, keep an eye out! Lovely video
You hit the notion cosmic horror is trying to convey spot on. Nice job. Lovecraft was probably what drove me Nihilism, as once you look at the universal picture, you realize your insignificance. Also your take on our need for freedom ironically being that we have more control on parts of our lives reminded me of Thou's song Free Will. Here;
Open your eyes and exalt--Exalt!
In this fragile world, in this knowing flesh, in this very moment.
We have forsaken the delusions of Comprehension as we are born into the certainty of the Sensual.
We are the stone that starts the avalanche.
We are the cough that spreads the plague.
We are the spark that lights the inferno.
Relinquish those wretched controls of knowledge and experience, those conditions which hinder desire's progress.
Cut away esoteric corruption and seek unfettered fulfillment.
In defiance of the sages.
In defiance of the intelligentsia.
Useless philosophy, theory, and poetry must be heaped upon the cairn.
See them consumed in Action--sweet, reckless Action.
Join our sad tears and dance on the blackened bones of gods.
Beyond the shadow of the citadel, there is no such thing as time, there is no such thing as negation.
There is only this tangible, perceptible world.
There is only this moment, this very moment.
Following up, I'm glad more people are enjoying Gou Tanabe's H.P Lovecraft adaptations. They're some incredible works of art, well worth the read.
Ah, yes, H.P. Lovecraft, my favorite horror author.
DUDE FUCK YES I LOVE THIS ONE!! Please check out the others their is a sequel to this manga and the author is adapting more of HPs work into manga
I would like to recommend your lord of mysteries. It's about our main character who is suddenly in a world where beyonders exist. (They use potions to level up) but its way tooo deeper. And the power system whole shit the best ever. There are 22 pathways and each have a true god and every pathway have 9 parts means 22×9=idk levels. With each having unique powers. For example would be a random power of black emperor pathway. Distortion - imagine you are a team assualting a man and you say "spread out and meet me at the point" the enemy can distort it into "spread out and meet me outside" and no one would realise. It's just so good. My favourite power is error pathway. To steal - the person can see your thoughts snd steal them. Your moves and use them. Steal your powers. It's just so overpowered and each pathway is perfectly balanced. It's just so well plotted I'd say as good as one piece when it comes to foreshadowing
Herbert West: Reanimator is one of the best early examples of a zombie story. Highly recommended.
This is everything I've ever wanted
Well new manga to read
Best site to read manga?
I heard about this Manga years ago and forgot about it. I read the original story a long time ago and I really liked it, how it describes the main characters losing their minds. Now that I began reading Manga its so cool these two are connected.
I actually originally found Lovecraft through games, specifically a GameCube only game called "Eternal Darkness", and later PC games like the Penumbra trilogy. Lovecraft is really a big influence on Horror and media in general. Even Arkham Asylum from Batman is named after a town in the Lovecraft Mythology.
Should get a copy of this sometime to read to my kids XD
I cannot remember who did it but there is also a manga adaptation of The Hound by H.P. Lovecraft. Definitely worth checking out.
IM SCARED TO SUMMON SOMETHIN💀had me weak
Actually Lovecraft was really poor and his stories werent even in a book, they were just written on some papers and he was barely making money to buy food. If he knew how much his stories are valued now....
Lovecraftian horror is a subgenre of horror fiction that emphasizes the cosmic horror of the unknown more than gore or other elements of shock. It is named after American author H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937).
His work emphasizes a philosophy of cosmicism, the idea that the reality underlying the veneer of normality is so alien that glimpsing it would be harmful to our fragile human minds.
We as human beings like to think we can know or understand anything. Cosmic horror is experienced when we are confronted by phenomena that are beyond our comprehension and also when we are made to become aware of the fact that we are alone in a vast, often malignant cosmos. It's a very nihilistic idea, but also what makes it scary.
Gou Tanabe is the perfect person to do these adaptations. I would prefer him over Junji Ito. Tanabe has the right style for Lovecraft. I hope he does a series of Poe adaptations as well.
My favorite Lovecraft. I'll have to get this.
I believe that the relationship between space terror being represented as a submarine terror is a great fit, it is based on the same fear of the unknown, the fear that existed beyond the mapped areas in the ocean and now on the space frontier.
Damnn the title keeps changing
H.P Lovecraft + manga/VN = masterpiece
Commenting for the algorithm
I'm read all the works of H.P Lovecraft (Because of my big, who is nerd for novels ), the details in this manga are haunting
Lmao, most lovecraft novel's are nightmare fuel and I can't fathom his work with art supported to it.
3:39 dont yell at me
@The Masked Man - I got the Call of Cthulhu one and it is decent as well!!
Best site to read manga?
Woops I was shouting out that Tkelei all these years thinking it was a mating call, I hope I didn't fuck the universe up.
There's something about cosmic horror that makes it so much more terrifying than everything else. Maybe it's the feeling of hopelessness that it invokes.
Know any good works by him? Or any of the same genre from other authors?
@@TheBeastInBlack I haven't read any of his works but some of the works which is are recommended for beginners is "the colour out of space" since it doesn't go too much in deep into the lore, that goes later on, and from a different author I heard "the king in yellow" is good
there is also this manga called "After God" , its kinda sick . It's a lavecraftian manga or smth like that , and the plot is just crazy.
Of HP Lovecraft's inner circle of friends, I think that Clark Ashton Smith is a very good author with a very interesting writing style, has interesting fantasy stories, scifi, horror, and others. I would recommend people read some of his stuff or listen to the audiobook (which can be found on youtube)
Gou Tanabe’s adaptations are amazing and beautiful
Huh, just yesterday I started reading Lovecraft for the first time. I read Dagon, which was a pretty good introduction tbh
