Moi, Lovecraft is a new book illustrated by Yann Sougey-Fils, with texts by Jean-Christophe Malevil. H.P. Lovecraft returns to the hospital on 10th March 1937, and in the five days before his death he “tells his story in the first person”.

It’s from the tiny press Editions des Tourments, and runs 112 pages. It doesn’t seem to be using the letters translated to French, but I’m guessing it may perhaps be counterpointing scenes from Lovecraft’s “death diary” with happier scenes from his life? Nor is it clear how heavily the book is illustrated.

Anyway, Moi, Lovecraft is published in French in about a week’s time. The same artist has a 64-page colour ‘BD’ French comics adaptation of The Dreams in the Witch House, to be published by the same press alongside Moi, Lovecraft. 64-pages is standard in France, and as such it’s not quite what the Anglosphere would call ‘a graphic novel’ (compared to the 130 pages of art one would expect here, in a 152 page trade paperback), more of a long graphic story.
