H.P. LOVECRAFT'S THE CALL OF CTHULHU GN
(W/A) Gou Tanabe
H.P. Lovecraft’s most famous horror story, rendered in chilling detail by modern manga horror master Gou Tanabe!
What links together two bands of worshippers, one deep in the Arctic snows, one hidden in the bayous of Louisiana, is more than their shared practice of blood sacrifice. It is the inhuman phrase they both chant: Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn-“In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.” Now these nightmares will disturb the sanity of Francis Thurston, a young man pursuing an investigation into the cult of Cthulhu that leads to the most forsaken spot in the vast Pacific… and to Earth’s supreme terror, the risen corpse-city of R’lyeh.
The complete graphic novel in one volume, faithfully reproducing the original Japanese release, featuring a title page in silver ink, eight pages in full color, and eerie metallic copper tones and spot color on the cover.

Once inside, the boys will have their shot at winning the Bell… but each step forward comes at a horrible cost. And the deeper they go – the closer they get – the higher a price they’ll pay. And if they can secure the Bell, surely then the worst will be over, right? They’re so close to the end, after all, and they’ve gone through so much to get this far. There can’t possibly be any further surprises in store…
