Journal De Z

I'm in awe of this project.

French artist Zachary Zeydh brings us the Journal De Z, a manuscript documenting the descent into madness of a researcher investigating the Cthulhu mythos.  What sets this apart from similar efforts is the sheer size of it.  The journal features dozens of pages, almost every one of them featuring a custom illustration.  The time and effort that went into it is simply stunning.

I am very often wondering what on the pages of those lavish leather bound tomes is that find their way into this blog. Are they all full of empty pages? Very nice and refreshing too see somebody thinking about the content instead the packaging. Beautiful work.

Thank you for your comments!
For your information, content also includes, in addition of the narrative stories, some cryptographic enigmas and steganographic puzzles.
There's a wiki with all transcripts, where a translation tool may help non-native speakers of French to read everything: https://wiki.journaldez.fr/
