Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
In the winter of 1927-28, the isolated coastal settlement of Innsmouth, Massachusetts was assaulted by U.S. government agents--its waterfront burned and dynamited, its people taken away to internment camps.
Yet that was neither the beginning nor the end of the horror uncovered by a young antiquarian who traveled to Innsmouth in search of rumors from the town's dead past, only to find them still very much alive...and find truths lying under water deeper and colder than any earthly grave!
This book includes a tip-in title page in silver ink and 12 pages in full color!
"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)
