The Dr. Seuss Call of Cthulhu may be one of the scariest children's books ever created. Australian artists DrFaustusAU created a children's version of H.P. Lovecraft's classic short story starring the octo-human monster Cthulhu.
Cthulhu has seen a surge in popularity thanks to the Internet, which loves all things weird and old. The Dr. Seuss Call of Cthulhu is aiming to capitalize on the surge in support for Cthulhu as well as the world's undying love for Dr. Seuss. The book is written and illustrated in the style of Dr. Seuss, with colorful and animated characters and rhyming passages. DrFaustusAU is still working on the book, but the pages he does have down look amazing and truly capture the magic of Dr. Seuss.
