HP Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness Makes For A Great Manga, And It's On Sale
Gou Tanabe's adaptation of the cult-classic Lovecraft story looks better than ever in this new deluxe hardcover edition
This deluxe edition features wrap-around cover art with soft-touch lamination and spot gloss, 100 gsm wood-free paper, several pages in full color, a title page in silver ink, foil gilding on the edges of the book block, and a satin ribbon bookmark. Normally $50, you can pick it up for just $34 at Amazon. Inside, you'll find illustrated nightmare fuel from Tanabe, who manages to bring Lovecraft's stories to life with his artistic talents.
"In 1931, an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead," the plot synopsis reads. "Some are hideously mangled, as if in rage--some have been dissected in a curious and cold-blooded manner. One man is missing. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby, for under its five points is another mass grave--and what lies there is not remotely human."
In case you'd like to check out some of Tanabe's other Lovecraft adaptations, several more are available. HP Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu will be released on October 15, and you can also pick up adaptations of The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Hound.
