Aww, isn’t Cthulhu just adorable? He may be a gigantic god of death, but he won’t be giving anybody nightmares in the beautiful new children’s book Sweet Dreams Cthulhu.
Jason Ciaramella and Greg Murphy previously bought us the charming alphabet book C is for Cthulhu, and are now back with yet another family tale featuring the world renowned horror icon. In Sweet Dreams Cthulhu, the titular Great Old One finds himself unable to fall asleep, so he pays a visit to his good friend Howard Lovecraft, who teaches him that the night isn’t so scary after all. I never thought I’d say this, but now I really want to give Cthulhu a hug.
Back Sweet Dreams Cthulhu on Kickstarter to help introduce the Lovecraft Mythos to a whole new audience. I’m never going to have kids, but if I did I would definitely buy them this and read it to them every night.
