See all formats and editions
From adapter and illustrator Gou Tanabe, comes H.P Lovecraft's The Hound and Other Stories. This manga adaptation of some of Lovecraft's best stories is perfect for manga fans and Lovecraft fans alike. With art resembling more of a western comic book, this book lends itself well as a 'gateway' for those who are looking to get into manga!


     A pair of decadent young men pursue the abhorrent thrill of grave robbing...a German submarine's crew is driven mad by the call of an underwater temple...an explorer in the Arabian desert discovers a hideous city older than mankind. This moody and evocative manga gets back to the dark foundations of the Cthulhu Mythos, adapting three of H.P. Lovecraft's original stories that first shaped the outlines of cosmic horror!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“I love H.P. Lovecraft…It would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft's stories. Afterwards, I ended up not doing it because I thought I wouldn't be as good as Gou's version.”—Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Venus in the Blind Spot)

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful introduction to HP Lovecraft
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022

Gou Tanabe has done something great, which was to bring the stories of H.P. Lovecraft into a wonderful manga adaptation that truly conveys the horror and ideas of the man who helped create cosmic horror. Each of the stories is a quick read, that works perfectly for when one is in a horror mood late at night. The decision of making these stories into a manga also helps, since while Lovecraft did have many great ideas as an actual prose writer, he was a mixed bag. Now one can enjoy these classics in the best possible way with striking imagines to boot. My only complaint is that I disliked the decision to change the setting of the submarine crew from the First World War to the Second World War, while it does not change the story at all, it feels like an unnecessary change and with the U-boats such an important aspect of the Central Power's war effort as detailed by Alexander Watson it was disappointing to see this change. None the less this is an excellent manga that is a must buy for fans of manga, horror, Lovecraft, or just quality stories. Now all we need is for Dark Horse to translate the rest of Tanabe's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool Work!
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023

As someone whose Lovecraft lore is limited to Call of Cthulu I very much enjoyed the stories contained within.

However, the main event is Mr Tanabe's art! Dark, haunting, empty yet filled with an evil presence, his use of light and dark combine to make eerie and beautiful share the same page.

Ok, so that was a bit art house, so instead I will say its awesome work! Its dark and mood setting, while conveying the story in a stark almost dreamlike manner. I really liked these and bought the Mountains of Madness set as a result. I definitely recommend picking this one up as its a great primer for Lovecraft and a wonderfully illustrated piece of art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid adaptation
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022

Contains The Temple, The Hound, and The Nameless City. Lovecraft is hard to adapt visually given that most of his mythology is supposed to be beyond sane comprehension and benefits from short form as these are not monsters to fight, but instead leviathans in the depths we swim hoping to be below their notice. Well drawn, these serve as nice adaptations willing leave their horror weird, mysterious, and hermetic and occult.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Japanese artist takes Lovecraft seriously
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2020

I looked up YouTube programs on what Lovecraft thought of Japanese culture. He thought it was beautiful, admiring how their love of beauty found expression in their everyday life, and worried that their art would be degraded by Western influences. Little did he expect that he would be one of those influences. I watched another YT program on that topic. The narrator felt that the Japanese were the ones who did the degrading to a Western influence: i.e., Lovecraft and his mythos. He gave as an example Lovecraft’s most malign Old Ones reimagined as Sailor Moon-type heroes. But he and other mentioned exceptions to the rule, who took Lovecraft and cosmic horror seriously.

Gou Tanabe takes them seriously. He said in his postscript that he hoped he could invoke Lovecraft’s gods through his art. He was kidding, of course. Tanabe adapted them as black-and-white drawings. His art succeeds at many levels. He pays much attention to details, at once grounding the stories in realism but also making clear that their realities are nightmares. He is great at creating atmosphere and that was essential. He does something else which surprises me. He makes the characters not only come to life but to seem sympathetic, somehow. I was surprised for two of them were grave robbers and one was a cruel U-boat captain.

Gou Tanabe's version of three Lovecraft tales here works well enough. The line art is clear, the dialogue true to the text, but Tanabe doesn't seem to be bring as much to the text unique to the form of manga here. Enjoyable, but feels a little slight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. I feel f#cking haunted
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
Decades long admirer of Lovecraft, and the works he has inspired in recent times. As well, I am very fond of manga as a medium (though I am extremely picky).
These adaptations, The Temple in particular, are well beyond what I had been expecting. I will say that it would be a delight to have these works (and I imagine this goes for his Madness adaptations as well) in a larger format. That said I believe the quality of the Dark Horse printing is very good, and the design and layout etc. are beautiful.
The work itself is absolutely haunting at times. Unexpectedly, the ennui and minutia of The Temple gave me very real nightmares. Something about the juxtaposition between the panels--many are stark black and singular in focus followed by smaller panels teeming with detail; and vice-versa--must have really wired deep into my subconscious because I haven't had nightmares in a very, very long time!
