H.P. Lovecraft's The Color Out of Space
H.P. Lovecraft's horror story, rendered in chilling detail by modern manga horror master Gou Tanabe! The complete story in one volume, featuring a tip-in title page in metallic gold ink and four pages in color.
Even the folk of Arkham are frightened of a valley west of townâŠblighted and deformed by something that fell from spaceâa twisting, spectral hue.
In 1927, a surveyor examining a site for a new reservoir arrives at the bottom of a desolate valley in rural MassachusettsâŠa place spoken of in fear, even by the inhabitants of witch-haunted Arkhamâfor in the past, they say, there were âstrange daysâ there.
The surrounding landscape is weirdly tangled and overgrown, but at the very center of the isolation are five acres where nothing lives and nothing remains, but a fine gray ash unstirred by the wind. What turned this farmland into a sterile, blasted heath? It happened long ago, the visitor learns from aged survivor Ammi Pierce, when in 1882 a visitor fell out of a clear blue sky, trailing smoke like a dragon.
Soon scientists from Miskatonic University arrived at Nahum Gardnerâs farm, where the meteorite landedâif indeed it was a meteorite, for the strangely plastic object refused to cool after its descent, seemed to gradually shrink, and in the laboratory, samples of it faded away slowly into nothingness. But not before revealing under analysis strange, shining radiance, unlike any known element of the spectrum.
What had been a mystery to the professors gradually becomes a horror for the Gardner family as first, bizarre lightning disintegrates what remains of the cosmic visitor, and then their crops begin to come in strangelyâfruits big and bountiful, but bitter and repugnant to eat. Then the unnatural blight spreads to the animalsâŠand finally, to the minds and bodies of the GardnersâŠtwisted by the colour out of space.
