When you are presenting his stories IN a visual medium, you are bound, to one extent or another, to fill in the blanks FOR the reader. Lovecraft's monsters are terrifying against the backs of your eyelids; printed on the page (or on a movie screen), generally not so much.Charles Dexter Ward circumvents a lot of that problem in that the action mostly takes place off the page. Only one monster shows up here and it is kind of perfunctory and less than, well, terrifying, but the story does not need it to be. It only needs it to be, if not shuddersome, then just kind of funky and strange, and it is good enough. The challenge here is making a very talking story lively through the illustrations and that is pulled off pretty successfully. The art here, as in his previous At the Mountain of Madness, are stylized and very restrained. They do a nice job of drawing you in to a lot of fairly static locations, but their style works for them, as does the muted color palate. The atmosphere is slightly unsettling without every becoming melodramatic or lurid - far from it, in fact.This is a nice way to revisit TCCDW. I am not sure how I would feel about using this to introduce HPL to a new reader. Young readers, perhaps, who might find Lovecraft's language dense and difficult, but again - the great strength of HPL's work is the way it worms itself into your head. But for those looking to enjoy the story in a new setting, as it were, this is a most enjoyable visit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read. Disappointing Cosmic Scares. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016* A great a conversion to visual media as perhaps can be for a book that relies mainly on suggestion to describe the indescribable. For the most part the artwork is excellent; well-drawn, and entirely appropriate for the subject matter. The writing is abridged by necessity, since the story requires a lot of background material to make sense. The chief reason I didn't give this a five was that the writing and artwork occasionally fumble on big "money shots." Doctor Bicknell's brief glance at a horrifying monster and the appearance of a thing from beyond the spheres in the farm raid scene drove the participants nearly insane in Lovecraft's book. But these cosmic terrors evoke little but momentary consternation from the characters in this adaptation, which is disappointing. Aside from that, this graphic novel is well worth the price and a fine addition to any Lovecraft library. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Needed a bit more of them essential saltes for my tastes. *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016* I had recently read the novella and really wanted to see how someone else envisioned the visuals (the colonial period events, the pits, the rituals etc.)I also watched the film adaption, The Resurrected. Though a bit dated has some amazing visuals and scenes.Anyway-back to the graphic novel. Though beautifully illustrated and written, I found it to be just page after page of people having conversations about the action, rather than illustrating it. I was left, visualizing the action being discussed in conversation for myself...again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1138687-the-case-of-charles-dexter-ward-sci-fi-and-horror](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1138687-the-case-of-charles-dexter-ward-sci-fi-and-horror) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
