The Monstrous Dreams of Mr. Providence
Mr. Providence is a caretaker in the city park. Something strange is going on in the park’s pond, and he is the only one who can see it. He wants to protect the visitors of the park.
Inside The Monstrous Dreams of Mr. Providence, we can read H. P. Lovecraft’s short story, The Strange High House in the Mist, which complements the story. I like Lovecraft’s stories. They create a certain mood.
B&W illustrations combined with beautiful colored ones. Daria Schmitt has created a surreal world with nightmarish monsters in the style of H. P. Lovecraft.
Edit: This graphic novel was initially a 4-star read for me. I understood the story in my way, and it was very good. After reading some other reviews, I noticed the name Zadok and researched some details. I’m an optimist, so I really believe that this name is a coincidence, and there is no hidden anti-Semitism behind it. Because of this name and the possibility of an entirely different message, I will lower my rating and rate it 3 stars. In the next edition, I strongly recommend that the author changes this name because now I feel a bit uncomfortable about this.
