    About this audiobook

    Howard Lovecraft is an American writer, who became famous for his works of horror fiction. Nowadays he is considered as one of the best 20th-century authors in his genre.

    "Nyarlathotep" is a story published in November 1920 in The United Amateur. It is written in first person. The story opens with the describing of a strange feeling of anticipation of a big evil. The narrator experienced the end of the world and now describes how it was.

    "Nyarlathotep" came from Egypt, he looked like a Pharaoh. Wherever he came, the people there started to have nightmares. He organized a demonstration, when he came to the narrator’s city. The observers split into 3 columns: the first group disappeared around the corner, from which was heard a moaning then; the second went into the subway station with the sound of laugh; the third group with the narrator travelled from the city to the country.

    The narrator lagged behind the group a bit and then saw “graveyard of the Universe”. Lovecraft’s childhood night dream underlay the story.

      Lovecraft has written some very strange stories that make it clear why he is still remembered.
    • 3/5
      Atmospheric early story by Lovecraft is a foretaste of things to come, but would work better as a poem. (I'm not reviewing a comic book version, just the downloaded short story.)
    • 3/5
      Boom Studios has recently made quite a name for themselves in the field of Lovecraftian comics. Fall of Cthulhu easily had the best single story arc series in HPL comics, although I thought the ending was weak. They also are giving us The Calling, a very good new series. Necronomicon was a 4 issue series well worth finding for collectors and Cthulhu Tales is a respectable series of self contained stories. Nyarlathotep carries fascination for most Lovecraftians (in fact, I think Fall of Cthulhu: Nemesis is supposed to be about his origins). This book represents something of a new direction for Boom. It consists of the text of HPL's prose poem, Nyarlathotep, lavishly illstrated by Chuck BB. I must admit I am unfamiliar with Chuck BB's other work. Nyarlathotep is a very nice cloth bound hardcover with an intriguing painting on the slipcover. Page count is 32 but the text and illustrations run from 5-27. List price is $14.99 but Amazon discounts to $11.69. I did not compare the text of Nyarlathotep with any of Joshi's definitive editions. While I have found the prose poem mesmerizing for many years, the reason to by this book is for the illustrations and production values. If you like the image on the cover, you will certainly enjoy the rest of the book. Counting the cover illustration, there are 11 full page, full color illustrations, each representing some passage from the text. While I wished for different passages to be illuminated, and for many more pictures, I was very impressed with Chuck BB's skill. The muted color palate enhanced the peculiar mood conveyed by the text. Sample this if you can before you buy, but I certainly was impressed and will be dipping again into its pages periodically. I hope Boom Studios will give us more illustrated versions of HPL's originals.
