Shadow Out of Time: Lovecraft (Graphic Novel)

by H.P. Lovecraft • Illustrated by I.N.J. Culbard

A chilling, immersive graphic-novel adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s 1936 novella, The Shadow Out of Time explores mind transfer, time travel, and the terrifying reach of alien intelligence. Originally published in Astounding Stories, this tale introduces the Great Race of Yith, an ancient extraterrestrial species capable of projecting their consciousness through time — swapping bodies with unwilling hosts and controlling their lives like a possession.

Artist I.N.J. Culbard brings Lovecraft’s cosmic dread fully to life with eerie, stylized illustrations that heighten the story’s unsettling atmosphere. A perfect read for fans of cosmic horror, graphic adaptations, and beautifully rendered eldritch storytelling.

About Microcosm Publishing & Distribution

“Microcosm Publishing & Distribution is a fiercely independent publisher and distributor that empowers readers to make positive changes in their lives, their communities, and their world.
Their books and zines focus on gender, self-care, mental health, punk culture, DIY ethos, witchcraft, social justice, and all the beautifully ‘too niche’ topics mainstream publishing tends to overlook.
Founded in 1996 in Cleveland and now based in both Cleveland and Portland, OR, Microcosm has grown from zines in a milk crate to warehouses filled with books, stickers, patches, card decks, and more — all fueled by the belief that a better world is possible, and we build it together.”
