One book and some manga this month.
Swords and Deviltry collects four stories about Leiber’s sword & sorcery characters Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, prequels written after Leiber had already written many of their adventures. Full review here:
We Learn by Writing: Swords and Deviltry by Fritz Leiber
H.P Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu illustrated by Gou Tanabe. Translation by Zack Davisson. (Dark Horse Manga, 2024)
A fantastic adaptation of one of my favorite Lovecraft stories. Tanabe’s detailed art style captures Lovecraft’s story incredibly well.
H.P Lovecraft’s at the Mountain of Madness Deluxe Edition illustrated by Gou Tanabe. Translation by Zack Davisson. (Dark Horse Manga, 2024)
Gou Tanabe’s artwork brings Lovecraft’s novella to the next level. His style fits perfectly, and his pacing, use of panels, and use of stunning two-page spreads all work together to draw the reader into Lovecraft’s world of cosmic dread. Looking forward to reading his other adaptations, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth” and the upcoming “The Color Out of Space.”
