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.
