The Case of Charles Dexter Ward

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.P. Lovecraft¿s most horrifying creations. ¿This is really the best way to enjoy Lovecraft.¿ - Boing Boing
