Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It’s impossible to talk about modern fiction without mentioning the influence of H.P. Lovecraft. The iconic designs of his monsters and the themes accompanying them have been used in countless stories over the years, horror or otherwise, and even in stories that aren’t focused on the supernatural, his themes of the alien and the unknown are still pervasive.

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love is nothing like a typical Lovecraftian story, but it’s a fun read, nonetheless. Not only is the comedy always on point and still manages to hold up after over a decade, but the anthropomorphism of Lovecraftian beings into cute anime characters always gives Nyaruko: Crawling with Love a great sense of parody. Overall, it’s a thoughtful and lighthearted love letter to H.P. Lovecraft, and even people who aren’t fans of his work can get a lot out of it.

Buy On Amazon While Delicious in Dungeon is mostly a straightforward fantasy comedy, its final arc deals with Lovecraftian themes thanks to the main villain, the Winged Lion. While initially presented as just a powerful monster, the Winged Lion is actually the physical personification of the dimension of mana that feeds on desire, and once he starts taking an active role in the plot, horrific and esoteric imagery almost always accompanies him.

Tomie was the work that kickstarted Junji Ito’s legendary career in horror fiction, and like many of his stories, there are very clear Lovecraftian elements at play. Not only does every story in the anthology feature truly gruesome and haunting imagery from its titular villain, but the way that Tomie is characterized as an alien being whose mere existence drives people mad is pure Lovecraftian, as that sort of writing is very common in H.P. Lovecraft’s works.
