Wow, so this finally got translated. I found this in the Bande Dessinée sub-cellar (just down the way from the Lovecraft crypt) of my old college library many years ago, was captivated by Claire Wendling's artwork, and ended up doing my own translation from French to stay in practice. My French skills were and are less than amazing, so I'd have a hard time telling you if this is as disjointed in French as all the new English-language readers say it is, but through my fragmented French it had a slow-building otherworldly magic. Perhaps the act of translation slowed my reading down to the point where I could absorb it differently, the effect mutating and shifting. And so I'm in no hurry to revisit this in my own language, I fear it might dispel the lingering memories of its cryptic and winding mythologies.
