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.
