Providence, Rhode Island, 1928.
A dangerous inmate disappears from a private hospital for the insane, his method of escape baffling the authorities.
Only the patient’s final visitor, family physician Dr.
Marinus Bicknell Willett―himself a piece of the puzzle―holds the key to unlocking The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.
A macabre mixture of historical investigation, grave-robbing, and bone-chilling revelation, this newly reissued adaptation (in a smaller format, with a foreword by Jeff Lemire and a new cover) artfully lays bare one of H.
Lovecraft’s most horrifying creations.
“This is really the best way to enjoy Lovecraft.
