Similar to and inspired by the wordless woodcut novels of Frans Masereel, and with a similar anarchist and autobiographical sensibility, but with a more refined style and a more gothic approach in some works.  Among others he illustrated Algernon Blackwood&#8217;s &#8220;The Wendigo&#8221; (below) and Mary Shelley&#8217;s <em>Frankenstein<\/em>.  Many of his works seem to chime rather well with the Lovecraftian sensibility.  One could even imagine that a way could be found to pair selected Ward woodcuts (of which there are a great many to choose from) with selected Lovecraft stories, so as to bring the two into an interesting posthumous collaboration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/lynd-ward-wendigo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"lynd-ward-wendigo\" width=\"400\" height=\"613\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1347\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At least one of his novels, <em>Gods&#8217; Man : A Novel in Woodcuts<\/em> is in the public domain, although it appears that the estate of Lynd Ward still makes claims (possibly spurious, since its copyright was not renewed) upon it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prestigious and beautifully-produced book series Library of America series is shortly to issue a slip-cased edition of Lynd Ward, &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2010\/09\/05\/new-lynd-ward-collection\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lovecraftian-arts","category-odd-scratchings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
