Ok, this was fun.

A simplified retelling of The Call of Cthulhu in the writing and art style of Dr. Seuss.

It's mostly an interesting object to own.

Well done! I would swear I was looking at real Dr. Seuss and reading his rhymes. What better gift for a Seuss & Lovecraft fan and gamer?

Some occasional issues with the rhymes but ultimately a fun time.

My little cultists (ages 4 and 6) have been demanding that I read this to them every night at bedtime! I'm not sure why they love it so much, but they do! It's Lovecraft's tale retold as a Dr. Seuss parody! How cool is that?!?

 The Doctor Seuss-esque illustrations in this actually work really well in the task of adapting lovecraft's prose to a largely visual medium of a children's book and the author finds some really great ways to make Lovecraft's prose rhyme in fun ways!

Unironically one of the best adaptations of this Lovecraft story!
