When the young Charles Dexter Ward becomes fascinated by the history of his wizard ancestor Joseph Curwen, who gained notoriety for haunting graveyards, he attempts to duplicate Curwen's cabbalistic and alchemical feats. It is Ward's doctor who bears witness to the full horror of Ward's results as Lovecraft's psychological mystery unfolds before him.

Praise for The Case of Charles Dexter Ward:
“Culbard triumphs in bringing to life a story that isn't inherently visual…. Another success by one of the best modern translators of the endlessly popular scribe.” ―Booklist
“This is really the best way to enjoy Lovecraft.” ―Boing Boing
“Culbard brings the classic tale to life, and his work will very likely entice readers who enjoy the macabre to seek out the original novel.” ―PublishersWeekly.com
“If you’re looking for chills, you'll find them here.” ―Scripps Howard News Service
“Culbard illustrates this tale of life everlasting―replete with ancient lore and sinister networks crossing the boundaries of reason, morality and science―in appropriately dark and lurid colors.” ―The Milwaukee Shepherd Express
“It's been something of a renaissance for H.P. Lovecraft comics over the last couple of years thanks to SelfMadeHero.” ―Houston Press “Art Attack” blog
“We’re giving it an ichor-dripping thumbs up.” ―The Austin Chronicle “Under the Covers” blog
“Rich details in his drawings cull out the story’s shadows and the sadness that lurks behind the fearsome details. Culbard masterfully controls the pacing as well, creating suspense and shock through his elegant pages.” ―Graphic Novel Reporter
