In 1908, Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee experiences an unfortunate fainting spell. Five years later, he finally returns to his senses, but has no recollection of these lost years of his life. As he attempts to discover what happened during this time, he becomes increasingly tormented by vivid, disturbing dreams-dreams that will lead him on a journey through space and time to unlock the secrets of his past and of the universe. Praise for The Shadow Out of Time: "A great way for a novice reader to discover the work of H. P. Lovecraft." -New York Journal of Books "Watching Culbard's fussy gents go stark raving nuts is always a blast, and this one may be his best yet." -Booklist… (mer)

This must be best story about body snatching I ever read.

When professor collapses during the class in Arkham's Miskatonic University he is placed under close monitoring and care. Five years later he awakens totally oblivious of time passed. As he recuperates strange memories of times past and future start to flash in his mind and he starts the search for mysterious locations haunting his mind.

Entire concept is truly great. Wont go into details here because it would be major spoiler but artist truly managed to bring the strange events from Lovecraft's novels to life.

Highly recommended to all fans of horror and especially Lovecraft. ( )

The Shadow Out of Time is the third volume of Lovecraft adapted by British artist I.N.J. Culbard into a graphic novel. The first two were: In the Mountains of Madness, for which he won the British Fantasy Award in 2011, and the equally excellent The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Culbard, as usual, unlike most gn adapters, does a great faithful job of adapting the stories from Lovecraft. The artwork again is a perfect match, simple, evocative, idiosyncratic (in a good sense).

Shadow was one of the last stories Lovecraft wrote and is more of a science fiction horror story than a pure horror story. The problem with this book is the starting material is so much weaker than Ward or Madness. There are a lot of opinions about the quality of this Lovecraft story: Kenneth Hite thinks it is a mediocre story, Joshi thinks it is one of Lovecraft's best, Lin Carter thought it was Lovecraft's absolute best story, and, in typical fashion, Lovecraft didn't think much of it. I tend to follow Hite and Lovecraft here. Shadow for me has always been a mediocre Lovecraft story. This is not to say that it is a bad story, mediocre Lovecraft beats most others' best, but Shadow has always seemed to me like a mish-mash of bits from much better Lovecraft stories. There is a bit of The Whisperer in Darkness, a lot of The Call of Cthulhu, and a lot of At the Mountains of Madness put together in a fashion that pales relatively when compared to these stories. The ending seems rushed and almost tacked on from a typically Lovecraft formula. Lovecraft was obviously trying work some themes he had used before into a new story but it just seems like a rehash with nothing new when compared to what he had already achieved.

Basically then the problem here is the weaker Lovecraft starting material. But as I said, weak Lovecraft is still pretty damn good and Culbard does the most with it. 3 1/2 stars.

I do not read many graphic novels, but I really enjoyed this. Culbard's illustrations really added a lot to the story, and made the story fun to read. I didn't realize that he had done so many adaptations, but now I will see if my library has them. One reviewer said that this is his weakest adaptation. If that is so, then I am really looking forward to the others, because I thought this one was great. ( )

Something of an ambitious Lovecraft story for adaptation to the graphic novel medium, but Culbard delivers the goods in a vivid, lively and striking manner that tightens the structure while maintaining all the cosmic angst. Highly recommended. ( )

This one was very well done. Art is excellent, and Culbard's slight changes to the story add a lot. Rather chilling at a couple points. ( )
