H. P. Lovecraft's Dagon for Beginning Readers is a children's book, written and illustrated by R. J. Ivankovic. It was originally posted on Ivankovic's DeviantArt account, as a serialized story from 2012 to 2013.[1] In 2017, Ivankovic began working on a revision for Chaosium, which was published as a hardcover book in 2019. The revised version features new art, with both versions being faithful adaptations of H. P. Lovecraft's "Dagon", done in the style of a Dr. Seuss book.
Overview[]
“ | "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, also available from Chaosium. |
