Alan Moore’s Neonomicon is now on pre-order as a graphic novel from Titan/Avatar Press, set for release in Oct/Nov 2011. Presumably it’ll be fronted by The Courtyard, then will run through the four issues of Neonomicon to make up a 140-page graphic novel. The hardback, currently listed for pre-order on Amazon, states “176 pages”, so presumably there’ll be a couple of new text-only introductions and maybe even a new Moore essay on Lovecraft. The ending of Neonomicon sets up a sequel, so it would great to think that Moore is going to spring a Lovecraftian novelette on us as a concluding part. The story starts in a modern-day Red Hook in New York, and is sexually very graphic. So much so that I wonder if it’ll even be banned or released only in censored form in the UK.
