P. Lovecraft through the meticulous and evocative gaze of Michele Penco. This volume collects four original stories that explore the boundaries of sleep and madness, where an artist trapped in an endless nightmare, a town inhabited by monsters, a truth hidden behind a painting, and an obsessive figure become the vehicles for a disturbing visual experience. The reader will find a loose adaptation of the Lovecraftian universe, where drawing and text combine to create claustrophobic landscapes and an atmosphere of melancholy and indefinable terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncubi brings together four independent graphic short stories that reinterpret the universe of H. P. Lovecraft from an original perspective. In \"The Self-Portrait,\" an artist faces an endless nightmare that materializes in his work. \"The City Over the Ocean\" presents a town subjugated by monstrous creatures. \"The Model\" reveals a macabre truth hidden behind a painting. Finally, \"The Dream Being\" follows a wandering man obsessed by a recurring figure in his dreams. Each story leads the reader to explore a dark, oneiric dimension populated by supernatural elements, deformed creatures, and obsessions that penetrate the mind, all wrapped in a claustrophobic and melancholic atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCosmic horror and human insignificance in the face of the unknown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe boundary between dreams, nightmares, and reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eArtistic obsession and madness as a consequence of forbidden knowledge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe presence of monstrous creatures and claustrophobic landscapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMelancholy and indefinability as elements of psychological terror.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers passionate about the  work of H.
