Look at dimensions of book before purchasing
Great graphics. The size was too much but that’s on me for not looking at the measurement.

A phenomenal narrative that delivers in each aspect it present, with few to no letdowns.
With the creation of this tale, came the creation of an entirely new genre, and H.P. Lovecraft absolutely outdid himself with this new fiction tale. Lovecraft conveys a frightening, yet compelling, narrative which delves into ideas that seem almost completely new to mankind. After the protagonist, Francis Wayland Thurston, discovers some of his late grandfather's belongings, he finds himself in a predicament with an ancient deity, named Cthulhu, who has been slumbering for ages, and Thurston becomes wrapped into the cult that follows. While he is most descriptive, Lovecraft also leaves much to the reader's imagination, allowing them to develop this story within their minds instead of just flat-out saying it. While many, including myself, would consider this book outlandish, it is impossible to deny it a place in literature history as a wonderful tale, which challenged common thought and brought new ideas to mankind. With a cliffhanger ending that borders on absolute madness, The Call of Cthulhu delivers in every aspect that it presents within the storyline, and begot a successful series to cement itself into history.

Stunning
Look over this book with sunlight illuminating its pages in order to appreciate the subtle use of light and shadow in the pictures. The book is beautiful and brought the stories to life in a powerful way. I'd love to see more of this artist's work illustrating Lovecraft. It was an inspired pairing that will not disappoint fans. I love the size of the book which lends itself to the wonderful illustrations.
