H.P. Lovecraft's the Call of Cthulhu for Beginning Readers

As you'd expect from the cover, this is a mashup of H.P. Lovecraft and [a:Dr. Seuss|61105|Dr. Seuss|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1193930952p2/61105.jpg]. Or what would it look like if Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated the story of [b:The Call of Cthulhu|15730101|The Call of Cthulhu|H.P.

The illustrations are spot on, to the point where I think the author may have traced or copied liberally from Seuss's work. And the writing is excellent as well, telling in happy verse the story of nameless horrors that drive people mad.

I had to read this at some point - now this is done. I played a few Cthulhu boardgames (Elder Sign, Arkham Horror, Mansions of Madness), and, well, I wasn't lost reading Call of Cthulhu. It's the story of the link-making between a number of a priori independent events: nightmares, a New Orleans cult, a boat wreck in the Pacific. The revelation of Cthulhu existence and of its waking up is built little by little. Worth reading, if only from a cultural point of view.
