Even Cosmic Gods fear an unknown caller!

When Cthulhu, the Great Old One, receives a phone call in the middle of the night, he is not prepared for the conversation that is about to take place.

Part comic book, part artbook, part storybook, A Call To Cthulhu is a fun, irreverent trip through the classic stories of HP Lovecraft, the influential horror writer, and a perfect introduction to his work for your little terrors!

HP Lovecraft's stories and Cthulhu mythos would inspire later writers such as Stephen King and Alan Moore, and today form the backbone of many movies, TV series, books, comics and games.

      Gr 5 Up-The Great Old One receives an irate call in this hilarious new rhyming tale that introduces the work of H.P. Lovecraft to younger readers. Cthulhu, the tentacled horror made famous by Lovecraft, sleepily answers a late-night call from someone who launches into a diatribe: "I hate your guts, Cthulhu/ I really, really do/ You and your stupid mythos/ And your Old Gods crew." The caller lambastes Cthulhu and other facets of the Lovecraft mythos, including the Cats of Ulthar, the blind penguins, and the Necronomicon. Verses in bold black pop against watercolor illustrations of creepy creatures and eerie places. The rant has laugh-out-loud moments that provide context to those new to Lovecraft, with verses like, "You can keep your cursed city/ And give me a break" and "[T]ake a step closer/ So I can give you a wedgie." A story and illustration key provide deeper context to each mention. A biography on Lovecraft discusses the author's problematic views and how modern authors have been inspired by him without embracing his objectionable legacy. VERDICT A fun additional purchase for collections where science fiction, fantasy, and horror are popular.-Rosemary Kiladitis
