Our local
public library has a reading challenge in place for this year called 16 in ’16. It started in February but I was so busy I
felt I needed to wait until later in the year.
So here I am. There are 16
categories and for each one finished either 10 or 15 points is awarded. This particular category is graphic novels. I’m not into graphics and have really only
glanced at what has been on the New York Times Best Seller list. Interestingly enough, I actually listened to
Lovecraft’s 1936 version earlier in the year.
As I was deciding what book to read for this category, I found this
graphic tale and decided to read it.
Many graphics are based upon a book that has already been written.
This book is
so cool! I only had my imagination
earlier to see the description of Lovecraft’s Antarctic monsters. As I read the comic book by Culbard I
actually got to see what these critters looked like and what the results were
after they’d had their way with their victims!
Yikes! Culbard followed the story closely. “For
a second we gasped in admiration … and then vague horror began to creep into
our souls.” The same spine tingling
suspense sparked awe in the center of my heart as I re-lived this
adventure. I may even have to try
another graphic someday soon.
