A horror classic is getting a new edition from Free League. The Shadow over Innsmouth has a new, fully illustrated edition featuring the artwork of François Baranger:
Free League Publishing announced a fully illustrated edition of H.P. Lovecraft’s classic horror story The Shadow over Innsmouth. Illustrated by the renowned artist François Baranger, the premium hardback volume is now available for pre-order via the Free League webstore, with a release date to be announced at a later time.
Drawn by a fascination with New England’s haunted past, a young traveler accepts a detour through the isolated coastal settlement of Innsmouth — a town feared by its neighbors and marked by quiet decay. Strange gold jewelry, whispered rumors, and the weight of unseen eyes pull him deeper into its crumbling streets, where long-buried secrets linger beneath the tide.
Considered one of Lovecraft’s most influential works, The Shadow over Innsmouth has inspired generations of artists and storytellers. In this new illustrated edition, François Baranger brings the once-prosperous fishing town to life through sweeping, atmospheric artwork that captures both its faded grandeur and unsettling mystery.
Known for his illustrated editions of The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Dunwich Horror, Baranger returns to bring Innsmouth to life through sweeping full-spread imagery that captures the story’s unsettling atmosphere. Presented in a 262 X 350mm folio format across 72 pages, the large-size hardback edition invites both longtime readers and newcomers to experience Lovecraft’s tale in a new visual form.
Pre-orders for The Shadow over Innsmouth are now available through the Free League Publishing webstore ahead of its release later this year.
