It doesn&#8217;t seem to be using the letters translated to French, but I&#8217;m guessing it may perhaps be counterpointing scenes from Lovecraft&#8217;s &#8220;death diary&#8221; with happier scenes from his life? Nor is it clear how heavily the book is illustrated. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, <em>Moi, Lovecraft<\/em> is published in French in about a week&#8217;s time.  The same artist has a 64-page colour &#8216;BD&#8217; French comics adaptation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.editionsdestourments.fr\/page\/95594\">The Dreams in the Witch House<\/a>, to be published by the same press alongside <em>Moi, Lovecraft<\/em>.  64-pages is standard in France, and as such it&#8217;s not quite what the Anglosphere would call &#8216;a graphic novel&#8217; (compared to the 130 pages of art one would expect here, in a 152 page trade paperback), more of a long graphic story.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/witch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/witch.jpg?w=214\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-33363\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moi, Lovecraft is a new book illustrated by Yann Sougey-Fils, with texts by Jean-Christophe Malevil.
