Half-Human Hybrid: Most Salem residents are half-Deep One, and the Wheatley siblings were fathered by Yog-Sogoth. Issue 9 implies that H.P.

In March 2012 it became the first recipient of the newly created " Graphic Novel" category at the Bram Stoker Awards. [3] Plot [ edit ]Nobody Poops: Germaine defecates in a sink (off-panel, but the feces is shown), and Brears urinates by the side of the pool while in captivity (on-panel). The latter becomes plot-relevant when the Deep One smells (and tastes) her urine, and discovers that she's pregnant. In 2004, Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred, by Canadian occultist Donald Tyson, was published by Llewellyn Worldwide.

Bowdlerize: While the series doesn't shy away from discussing Lovecraft's infamous racial hang-ups, as is often the case with Lovecraft adaptations, the Deep One's design has been altered to conform to modern sensibilities. While the originals were described as flabby-lipped and bulgy-eyed, invoking comparisons to golliwog caricatures, the Deep One here is drawn with a lipless, sunken-eyed visage, looking like nothing so much as a humanoid coelacanth ( which, you have to admit, looks a whole lot cooler).Haunted House Historian: Dr Wantage is one of the few people outside of Stella Sapiente who seems to understand what Hali's Book really is. He relates how it was one of the few books to survive a mysterious fire, worries that something might break out of the book, and alludes to how it might harm Robert. Cool Shades: Henry Anneseley wears purple lensed spectacles that is especially groovy for 1919! Unknown to Robert, they provide Henry a glimpse into an interdimensional realm filled with eldritch abominations that are apparently all the time present hovering around us invisible.
