Eldritch Monstrosities for Children

The ingenious R.J. Ivankovic is at it again with his latest Seuss/Lovecraft mashup. The poetic and artistic styles of Dr. Seuss collides hysterically with H.P. Lovecraft's masterpiece of cosmic horror, "At the Mountains of Madness" in this new illustrated book by R.J. Ivankovic. His "Call of Cthulhu" and "Dagon" for Beginning Readers were masterpieces, and this volume is every bit as delightful. 

He’d recovered fourteen
Of the strange “Elder Things”
With their barrel-shaped bodies
And membranous wings.

They had starfished-shaped heads
And triangular feet,
And they’d slowly thawed out
When exposed to the heat

The ill-fated Miskatonic University expedition to the Antarctic is documented in rhyming couplets, capturing every sanity-draining moment of exploration and terror. This glorious full color 142-page adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft story was written and illustrated by R.J. Ivankovic.

Hardbound.

Another amazing Lovecraft-to-Seuss translation

R.J. Ivankovic has thrice captured Lovecraftian magic in a Seussian bottle of pictures and verse. Trying to avoid spoilers... the verse does an excellent job of preserving the tone/"voice" of the narrator (Dyer), especially his understatement, suppressed deep emotion, and philosophical asides. The book itself is very high quality, hardback with shiny protective coating, thick paper, pages appear to be sewn and not glued. I look forward to future entries in this series. If Mr. Ivankovic can keep them coming, I will keep buying them.

Delightful Seuss-like take on MOM

This is a wonderfully illustrated take on ATMOM which is surprisingly true to the story by Lovecraft..Excellent work!

I quite enjoy the combination of Suess lightness and Lovecraft darkness. Two great tastes that taste great together!

Excellent!

Superb mashup of HPL and Dr. Seuss. Perfect companion to the others, Call of Cthulhu and Dagon.

A must have

Blending the iconic styles of Lovecraft with Suess, this book delivered that promise.
