H.P. Lovecraft: Arthur Jermyn

The Jermyns have lived in their gothic estate in Cambridgeshire for centuries. Explorers and adventurers, they are a wild and violent bunch with a cursed, black history of sudden murder and blood. Until the birth of Arthur Jermyn. As brutal as his ancestors, Arthur also seems to possess a calmer, more intellectual side. These two halves seem to war for possession of Arthur's soul as he researches the lurid Jermyns' past, hoping to find a reason or origin for his family's wicked ways. He soon discovers the source for which even he could never have imagined.

This Lovecraft tale is adapted by award winning comic writer Steven Philip Jones (CALIBER's Sherlock Holmes, Dracula). H.P. Lovecraft is considered one of America's most innovative and popular American horror writers. The master of the weird tale during the first decades of the 20th Century until his premature death in 1937, Lovecraft's distinctive style and canon of work has influenced many authors. Jones takes the classic tale and while remaining true to the source, brings them into the modern age which can sometimes make the horror even more terrifying. This tale is illustrated by Wayne Reid who has worked on such Caliber Comic titles as Storyville: The Prostitute Murders, El Cid, and A Murder of Scarecrows.

In addition to the comic adaptation of the story, the original H.P. Lovecraft published work is also included in this volume.
