H. P. Lovecraft's Dagon - For Beginner Readers

Description

So a warning to all,/ for what it is worth:/ when the monsters arise/ they will conquer the earth.

The famous H.P. Lovecraft story "Dagon" is gracefully retold in anapestic tetrameter and illustrated in a darkly whimsical style by genius poet-artist R.J. Ivankovic.

A sailor escapes in a lifeboat after his ship is attacked by a German raider during World War I. He soon finds himself in more bizarre peril, stranded in a dark, stinking mire on the edge of a mammoth pit. Venturing into the pit, he discovers a monolith covered in weird hieroglyphics and something stranger still that crawls from the slime a creature that may be the vanguard of a vast and monstrous invading army from the depths of the sea.

This glorious full-color adaptation is R.J. Ivankovic's follow-up to the popular H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" for Beginning Readers.
