    About this ebook

    This collection of 70+ limerick verses based on H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos combines horror and humor in equal measure to demonstrate that man's view of himself as the center of a known space-time continuum remains laughably out of scale with the reality that ancient forces control his world.
