I got this slim hardcover as a thanks-for-cat-sitting gift from friends who know what I like {wry grin}. It's a retelling of Lovecraft's classic tale of cosmic horror, in the form of a Dr. Seuss book - complete with Seussian-style illustrations!

The text does a pretty good job of summarizing the story into Seussian verse, with the more famous quotes coming out a bit warped but recognizable:

"The most merciful thing
in the world, I believe
is humanity's failure
to fully conceive
the cosmical horrors
we've yet to reveal,
and which up until now
I have tried to conceal."

It's the artwork that gave me the most joy, though; the many characters from the story are rendered perfectly as Seussian beings, including Cthulhu himself. He's so cute!
