Fans of Lovecraft will enjoy
Great app and worth the money if you are a Lovecraft fan!! Art and music are good and fit together nicely. A small bug seemed to kick me out on a certain page, but when reopened put me right at the next page, so a bit forgivable. Looking forward to more iLovecraft in the future!z_creech
Best 3 bucks I’ve ever spent!
Lovecraft was brilliant, but in modern times, his language, setting and context can seem quite alien to readers. That’s what makes this format so helpful and engaging; it utilizes our modern desires for a certain pace, certain highs and lows (and “jump-scares”) and an overall tone or mood. It takes its cues from the past hundred years of suspense and horror tales writ large in cinematic language, and utilizes those tactics and forms to re-tell Lovecraft’s bizarre and lavish stories in a way we can more easily digest.
I will, however, argue that Lovecraft’s particular style is designed to inspire the readers by only telling vague descriptors of monsters, ghouls and forms, and leaving the details to their imaginations, thus making many of the illustrations – beautiful, vivid and horrifying as they are – a bit superfluous. We’re I the creative director of this app, I might suggest illustrating only the “edges” of the horror and never fully revealing what a given horrific thing actually looks like. That’s my one criticism of this format.
I hope to read more stories - and certainly more from Lovecraft - in this way as “new media” integrates with old formats.
Great work, app makers!Show lessMWood919
Great melding of mediums
Love the vibrating sights and sounds. I almost expected a stench and foul green smoke to emit from my phone or tentacle to break thru during some of those passages of Lovecraft. There’s an eerieness that I haven’t felt since I first saw The Ring. Some of the flying bugs also made me think of The Mist. You really make scary other worldly creatures of Necronomicon lore come to life. They’re like interactive graphic novels. Very cool. And intense. Great pairing of a scary soundtrack to the text. And I like the gothic look to the pages. Sometimes black, sometimes white. And was very inventive with being able to scroll around rooms or move branches. Gave it a nice POV feel with an exciting involved first person reader experience.Show lessHusker Zach
Perfect presentation
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the iLovecraft collection experiences. I hope this long-form story app gets the love it deserves because I'd love to see At The Mountains of Madness, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and The Shadow Out Of Time, one day, as additions to this app collection. Fantastic. Love every second of it!Show lessGEEE-no
Magnificent! More Lovecraft please!
I can not recommend this tale enough. First, it is Lovecraft, but secondly, it is the amazing way that the artists presented it.
Better than a lot of Hollywood movies I’ve seen.Kachefski

I can’t get enough of these!
I’m a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft. And these apps make his stories so much more immersive. I hope there are more to come!Lovecraftfan86
Brilliantly and Frighteningly Done
There are no mistakes in this spooky tale. For adults and older children it is an epic of writing and illustration. Be sure to use headphones. The music, too, and sound effects could NOT be better. You are doing yourself a great favor to get all the apps from this imaginative company. I have!Mike the Martian
