dc.description.abstractH.P. Lovecraft is an author with relatively little mainstream appeal, yet many contemporary creative minds have been inspired by his works, and as such a vast array of adaptations based on his works have been realised in the 83 years after his passing. Although there are many adaptations available his works are widely regarded as being extremely difficult to adapt due to their Lovecraftian themes. This research thus aims to answer how different media adapt these themes and to what extent mutations of these themes are present due to the change in environment. This theoretical approach is in adherence to the notions presented by Bortolotti & Hutcheon in their article ‘On the Origins of Adaptation: Rethinking Fidelity Discourse and “Success”: Biologically’. As for methodology, this research will look at four distinct types of adaptation and analyse how the themes of these adaptations have mutated in their new environments in contrast to their source.en_US
