The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.196: Some Notes on a Nonentity



Sam Gafford and Jason C. Eckhardt’s biography of Lovecaft - presented in graphic novel form (and inspired by Lovecraft’s own autobiographical piece, Some Notes on a Nonentity) - was first made available by PS Publishing at NecronomiCon 2017. Unfortunately there were only a limited number available at the event, and I wasn’t able to secure a copy then - but picked one up directly from PS shortly afterwards.

This is a charming, poignant piece - even if it does occasionally gloss over some of the less savoury aspects of Lovecraft’s character - and Eckhardt’s artwork does a wonderful job of illustrating Lovecraft’s inner, visionary life. A strong recommend, and deserving of a place in the library of dedicated Lovecraftians.
