Product Description

Renowned Mythos aficionado Ken Hite retells H P Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" through this parody of classic children's literature.

After greedily yelling for more fish, young Bobby is sent to his bedroom without any supper at all. But Bobby escapes when the Manuxet River runs right through his room carrying an old boat that takes him to Innsmouth. When the Deep Ones come for him he flees, but will he eventually join their wild rumpus under the ocean, and be crowned the most Deep One of all?

Customer Reviews

A hard to resist book
The colorful illustrations are delightful for any child and the playful narrative that blends Lovecraft and a beloved children's classic will appeal to any adult who is a fan of either Lovecraft or Sendak.

I bought a copy for my young daughter and am considering buying more as gifts.

Lovecraft for Children
A cute little book which does a fine job taking off of Sendak's
Where the Wild Things Are to present Lovecraft's classic horror tales in a cute, non-frightening way to children.

Where the Deep Ones Are
The book is very cute and well illustrated. It is the story of a little boy who falls asleep and dreams of the world under the sea. Could be a bit much for a two year old, but one who is pushing three should love it.
