- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2022If you love or are a Lovecraft fan then this is a must have comic series for your collection, it is a great story with awesome artwork..
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2022Trevor Markwart offers a fun blend of the esoteric mythos of H.P. Lovecraft with a not-so-Disney approved version of Beauty and the Beast.
The premise is that this story was a fictional lost manuscript of Lovecraft adapted to a modern medium. One thing I appreciated was the light touch the author took toward replicating Lovecraft's notoriously flowery language. Where I often need a dictionary nearby to parse a Lovecraftian short story (and I don't mind because they are that good), the writing in this graphic novel is more broadly accessible.
From the beginning the author pivots between a first person narrator in Omorphia (an prodigious archaeology student at Miskatonic University and the story's "Beauty"), and a limited third person narrative providing substantial exposition, and introductions to Professor Frances Morgan (of Dunwich Horror notoriety) and the mysterious Beast (a well-dressed anthropomorphic insectoid). Character development advances nicely over the course of the series. With Lovecraft's less than stellar record with misogyny, I applaud the author for making the protagonist a strong, confident, and immensely talented woman.
Art is subjective, but I had a good time. The artist is most successful when illustrating the elder gods through artifacts, dreams, and sculptures. Whether these are of Cthulhu, Dagon, Nyarlathotep, a member of the Great Race of Yith, or figures I cannot name, I constantly wanted more. Add in some hints of non-Euclidean city design and I can't ask for more in a Lovecraft-based series.
This book presents a quirky dynamic whereby sometimes the reader may feel like they were succumbing to a fever dream, and shortly thereafter they're in a period piece. If you're looking for an unnatural and forbidden (quasi-interspecies) cosmic romance / horror story featuring monkey butlers with personality, a chauffeur / chef that is also a Deep One (basically a human-fish hybrid), Ghouls (think zombie-like cannibals) lurking in the woods, and a plethora of Lovecraftian allusions / Easter eggs (At the Mountains of Madness, The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Dagon, Colour Out of Space) then look no further. The pacing is brisk but comfortable and the art can be really neat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Remarkable Work of Accessible Art
I don't believe I have ever seen such an ingenious and original use of the Lovecraftian mythos. The depth of storytelling in a completely new vision of the most universal of fairy tales is not something I expected. When combined with the very involving art, it ended up as something I couldn't stop reading. It is a fine work, completely realized. Very pleased to have bought this.
