rex_libris's review against another edition
5.0
Introduce your little cultist to the wondrous and sublime joy and horror of the Lovecraft Mythos.
A brief journey through the Mythos introduces us to some of the core figures with witty, if a bit forced rhymes and beautiful illustrations. The book finds a ready audience with Lovecraft reading adults but for an older child who enjoys horror and monsters there would be very real appeal here.

A dark picture book that is certain to be popular with Lovecraft fans. The rhyming did seem a bit forced every now and then, but as a whole, the story was a very clever introduction to key figures from the mythos. And the illustrations were terrific.

A children's primer describing Lovecraft's monsters in witty rhymes. Gentle enough for the kids, subtle enough for the adults. Plus, glow-in-the-dark, and there's a kitten. Doesn't get better than that.
