In the most WTF story of the week, we now have the artwork and details for the upcoming mash-up novella, Kanye West – Re-Animator from author Joshua Chaplinsky and H.P. Lovecraft! That’s right, Kanye West – Re-Animator!
Look for it September 1st via Yolo House Publishers. Check out the goods below via LitReactor.
Synopsis:
Appropriately, it started out as an experiment, where every time the name Herbert and/or West came up, I replaced it with Kanye. Then, I went through and changed certain details of the story to reflect Kanye’s biography. Finally, I discovered what the piece was really about and began turning it into a bizarre mix of Lovecraftian horror and hip-hop history. It puts a whole new spin on both the Kanye persona and Lovecraft’s original story.
In it, Kanye attempts to reanimate a moribund hip-hop scene, only to come to the conclusion that his music is so powerful, it should be used to reanimate the dead. And who better to reanimate than those two legendary titans gone before their time—Biggie [Smalls] and Tupac [Shakur]? Hilarity and carnage ensue.
