Adapting the hit French graphic novel, author Romuald Giulivo and artist Jakub Rebelka come together to give us the dreamlike story of the very last day of H.P. Lovecraft.
See the final journey of a complex and tortured man, facing his choices, his writings, and his mistakes at the very last moment of his life.
Designed as a strange Gothic cathedral, The Last Day of H.P. Lovecraft is an extraordinary story that explores the end of a man and the beginning of a myth.
So what I can theorise so far is that there are two potential things happening - Lovecraft is hallucinating massively and seeing his own characters (Randolph Carter here) come to life, or, we are reading some kind of meta textual appraisal of Lovecraft's work. A lot of this beautiful comic is filled with direct references to his works and those of his contemporaries like biographer S.T.Joshi, and direct quotes from his work.
Very intrigued to see where this goes.

Intriguing start. The letter to Robert E. Howard was my favorite part of the issue. Howard committed suicide the year before Lovecraft’s death so I’m curious if this included correspondence is based on one of their letters. Time to go down the rabbit hole.
