The Cats of Ulthar Graphic Novel Review | Lovecraft’s Creepiest Cat Story
What if the most ordinary creatures in your home… weren’t ordinary at all?
In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim dives into the graphic novel retelling of The Cats of Ulthar, written by Bruce Brown—an atmospheric, beautifully crafted adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s classic short story.
Lovecraft was famous for twisting everyday reality into something cosmically unsettling, and The Cats of Ulthar may be one of his most quietly disturbing tales. This graphic novel breathes new life into that century-old story, pairing eerie moral justice with striking artwork and a tone that feels both timeless and fresh.
We’ll talk about:
• How this adaptation honors Lovecraft while making the story accessible
• Why the artwork, lettering, and overall production quality stand out
• The unsettling idea that cats may be more aware—and more powerful—than we give them credit for
• Who this graphic novel is perfect for… and who might want to pass
⚠️ Spoiler-lite discussion only ⚠️
If you enjoy horror-tinged fantasy, Lovecraftian vibes, and graphic novels that linger in your mind after you’ve closed the cover, this one’s worth your time.
