Outline

In July 1927, “I,” a young student, visited the uncharted port town of Innsmouth while traveling around New England. A “universal truth” awaited in the town with strange-looking residents and dark shadows. This is a comic adaptation of works by the American horror novelist H. P. Lovecraft. The world of terror and decadence in his masterpiece, The Shadow over Innsmouth, is depicted with a detailed touch.
