They think they've seen the worst monsters in America, but as they pull up to the maximum security asylum where one Aldo Sax speaks in strange tongues, Agents Brears and Lamper may be beginning to suspect that they're about to see something so much worse. Alan Moore illustrates some of the Pan dimensional concepts that form the framework of the Lovecraft cosmology with great skill in Neonomicon. The Courtyard originated as Moores prose contribution to a horror anthology and is adapted by Antony. I read the Neonomicon first, but it actually comes after the Courtyard, so I probably should have read them in the other order. Neonomicon is two separate but connected stories. The all-new all-Alan Moore horror series spoken of only in hushed whispers for years is finally here! From the award-winning master of comics, Alan Moore, comes a brand-new tale of Lovecraftian horror that will leave you too afraid to close your eyes, but more afraid to open them! NEONOMICON, the sequel to THE COURTYARD graphic novel, is slithering its way onto shelves to take its place as a Great Old One of comics terror! Illustrated by Moore's favorite demented artist, Jacen Burrows, NEONOMICON pulls no punches as every full-colored page is covered in nightmares brought to gruesome life! The story begins some years after the chilling events of THE COURTYARD, in a world where two young and cocky FBI agents are investigating strange- and familiar murders. Update: I finished reading both the Courtyard and the Neonomicon. ![]()

This episode in the Great Terror remained hidden from view for decades due to the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police. At the same time, it resulted in a “purge of the purgers,” resulting in the scapegoating and arrests of hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror at regional and local levels.
