The Call of Cthulhu for Beginning Readers Book

Sat down and read this book to my wife who has never read Call of Cthulhu or any Lovecraft and she enjoyed it which is a great success and just about as positive a review as I could give.

I consider this an adaptation of the original story into a new medium; given how many changes have to be made to morph Lovecraft into Dr. Suess, I'm quite confident and comfortable proceeding along those lines.

And HOLY AZATHOTH, they absolutely NAILED it. The ONLY reason I don't call this Perfect, is because of my personal conviction that Perfection is an impossible ideal that can't physically exist in this universe; if not for that, I WOULD call this perfect. Literally EVERY PAGE has something to love. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll screech in unholy insanity and terror. This is beyond First Rate work- this takes the Rating to Negative territory well past Zero, or perhaps takes it off the Real Number Plane entirely and goes Complex/Imaginary. I will literally cherish this book for the rest of my life, and no, I am NOT exaggerating in saying that. This is brilliant.

Check out the equally superlative Suess-adapted Dagon, also. You won't regret it.

I purchased this at GenCon a few years back, and I love it! It's a faithful retelling of the original story, and the illustrations are absolutely perfect. I plan to pick up "Dagon for Beginning Readers" as well.

u make me cum

This is exactly what i was hoping and wishing this was going to be. perfect to start off any young reader into the world of Lovecraft. art style matches the esthetic amazingly. i will definitely be buying another for my own kids as well as the Dagon version
