Sanity-destroying cosmic horror can be hard to wrap your head around, so Deviant Artist DrFaustusAu has begun rejiggering H.P. Lovecraft's classic short story as Dr. Seuss book. Now, children of all ages can learn about he who slumbers in his house at R'lyeh.
It's kookily impressive, and we're jazzed to see the artist's further work on it. Hat tip to Exploriens!
Update 11/27: DrFaustusAu has been plenty busy adding pages, and it looks like he's almost done. Check it out! Hat tip to Morris.

I am sad to say I hav never read "The call of Cthulhu" or any of Lovecraft's works. It now looks like I have more books to add to the reading pile.
Thank you for the suggestion.

You’re very welcome.
Most or all of his works can be found as free ebooks - don’t remember the URL; but Google should find ‘em.

I found a complete works set on "Amazon" for 99 cents for my kindle.
Pretty cheap and it puts some money in the collators hands for doing the work.
