The Viking Skeggox Axe Head Replica by JW SteelCrafts is a hand-forged blank axe head with bold Norse character.

As a blank head, it is ideal for collectors, display builds, and makers who want to finish it with their own handle.
This piece suits Norse history fans, knife and axe makers, and anyone building a Viking-themed collection. Because each head is hand-forged and etched, the pattern and finish are unique on every piece.
The Skeggøx, or bearded axe, was one of the most recognizable tools of the Viking age, from roughly the 8th to 11th centuries. Its lower "beard" let users choke up for fine control, while the broad edge handled both daily work and heavier tasks. Affordable and effective, it was far more common than the sword among everyday Norse people and became a lasting symbol of Viking heritage. A blank axe head follows the old tradition of forging the head first and fitting a handle later, the way smiths and owners did for centuries. This acid-etched replica head carries that legacy forward as a display and project piece.

Perfect Adaptation of Lovecraft's Story
Format: Kindle
Gou Tanabe has been making probably the best manga/comic adaptations of Lovecraft's works recently, and this depiction of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" is by far the best.
Tanabe really captures visually what Lovecraft was conveying via the text of the original story. Innsmouth is decrepit and rotting, the locals are sinister, and the deep ones are hideous. And, as always, Tanabe's art is of the highest quality.
I can't recommend this enough, and I eagerly await whatever adaptation he does next.

Gou has done it again.
Format: Paperback
I like the original text, I love the adaptation because it doesn't stray too far from it. The illustration is beautiful and sometimes gross (In a good way, I mean it's a cosmic horror about people turning into fish, maybe don't read it right before a meal or before bed.)
Gou Tanabe has been working through many of H.P Lovecraft's more popular or interesting stories and this one is just about as good as the rest. The translation as always is very good throughout with only one or two "Wait, what?" moments which could have come from reading the original text differently.
I definitely recommend this book and several of others from Gou Tanabe if you love cosmic horror, manga, or H.P Lovecraft.

An Eldritch Tale Deserving the Manga Treatment
Format: Paperback
One of Lovecraft's very best (and my personal favourite of his macabre tales), rendered in grotesque mana style. While it doesn't eclipse its inspiration, I thoroughly enjoyed this unique take on a classic tale.
