Be prepared to be scared, or entertained, whatever floats your boat. Unless Cthulu sinks you. Original Story by Dr. FaustusAU: drfaustusau.dev... Music by Myuuji: • It's Not Over Yet - Myuu
I was impressed at how well this was done. It's not that easy to make one of the most terrifying stories ever written to sound like a nursery rhyme. Very well done.
+hk hjg That would be awesome. If I had kids, I would read H.P. Lovecraft and the Simon Necronomicon to them as bedtime stories, along with Le Dictionairre Infernale, Liber Officium Spiritum, Grimorium Verum, the 6th and 7th books of Moses, The Goetia, The Al Azeeth, ya know, basic light reading for kids of all ages, agelessness, and aeons :) Edit: I forgot to mention that my kid's nightly prayers would include Ia, Ia, Cthulhu, Fhtagn
Ok.. great.. my kid loved it, and all that.. but.. is the eye rolling back in his head, and the continual vomiting of minnows normal? I admit he's chanted that 'It awakens.. it comes.. It awakens.. it comes..' before, but it's gotten insistent now.
+New Message Ah, that's completely normal for a kid being influenced by an elder god from beyond space and time. He's coming along nicely. Remember to have the kid add "Ia, Ia, Cthulhu Fhtagan" to his prayers at bedtime

Excellent. Also, I am glad that no one on here complained about any of the changes from Lovecrafts(cough)less than polite words for people of colour. The animated comic for "The Rats in the Walls"I saw a short time ago had so many people complaining about the change of the name of the cat.
HAHAHAHAHA! I can imagine that, it would be horrible but hilarious if the necronomicon that was invented in the mind of H.P.Lovecraft was actually real and had all the summonings and they actually worked, oh boy, kids would probably accidentally summon a shugoth or a deep one, even worse Cthulhu or some other great old one, or even an elder god like Nyarlethotep

I did, she had nightmares for a week. Tonight I'm allowed to read her bedtime stories again. I was asked for one about a fish. So I will tell her 'The Shadow over Innsmouth.'
I dont know why, this video it's impossible to find with the TH-cam search engine. Gladly I saved it in my favourites, because that's the only way I can hear it again 😔
Absolutely genuis and interesting idea. From the writing, to the rhym- es, all of the effort put into this was very well done. I love this piece of childish, yet adult feeling literature.
Dude your voice was perfect for this hope you do more h.p lovecraft stories man and this story was perfect for me to listen to while i was playing bloodborn man
if cthulhu is made immortal by the sheer strength of his will then the destruction of his mind might mean the certain death of his body and for all the exaggeration of his power over past generations it is likely that humans simply out thought him already.
...or that HE will never die, never be defeated, and shall rise again when the cosmos aligns, and spread untold terror, destruction and madness to the minds of those not lucky enough to experience instantaneous death! LORD CTHULHU shall wipe this insignificant mouldy rock clean of the parasitic lifeforms who have arrogantly spread upon it, sparing only those few who serve HIS greatness! The time is coming again....
Victory... A hollow and ridiculous notion, We were born with this thing, Made from it. And we will be returned to it, in time. A great family of man, A profusion of errant flesh Multiplying. Swarming. Living. Dying. Until the stars align in their inexorable formation. And what sleeps, Is aroused once more. To hatch from this fragile shell of earth and rock, And bring our inescapable end... So seek solace in your manner, Befitting your lineage. And take up your nugatory vigil Haunted forever by that sickening prose, Echoing through the infinite blackness of space and time. "Ruin Has Come To Our Family
I like how the closet to reading a lovecraftian book is from a Dr. Seuss style book. but as i value my sanity i guess it's best i know as little of Cthulhu as possible :D
No repeat views. Too many people watch this video and end up dead or institutionalized...or so I hear. It could just be malarkey, since we never *ia! IA! Son of the thousand-faced moon! The King in Yellow awakes! G'thonia ia!*
There is another video reading what seems to be the same book, same author but different illustrations and text. I can only assume it got a heavily revised subsequent edition.
The tone and style of reading is great, and the music is fantastic, but there are a LOT of places where you ignored the rhyming scheme or made other errors; most obviously when you skip and entire line after the page flip around 8:10.
And thus we know there is only death or madness waiting for us. ...Pray for death.... H.P. remains the greatest horror writer of all time. Whittling our options to just these two, despite our intellect and accomplishments as individuals or a species: When all we can aspire to is inevitable destruction and inconsequence...what is left, but hopelessness? And THAT is horror, as a genre, distilled. It was done and over with in Lovecraft's work. Unrecognized in his time, everything else is practically an homage. There is no greater terror than the Cthulu Mythos.
Id like to see a Maurice Sendak Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath or, if thats too long, Maurice Sendak style Dagon, which really lends itself to a Where the Wild Things Are treatment. Also, Beatrix Potter Cats of Ulthar and a Caspar the Friendly Ghost version of Clark Ashton Smiths Empire of the Necromancers"...
I appreciate the Requiem for a Dream rip-off. Also, who wins? The immortal and infernal priest of the Elder Gods whose simple visage is enough to break most minds in twain or a steamboat full of ballsy Norwegians?
I was impressed at how well this was done. It's not that easy to make one of the most terrifying stories ever written to sound like a nursery rhyme. Very well done.
he should publish this.then it could be in a childrens library
Its been published, I saw it a comic book store
where was the store
Forbidden planet in London. Im pretty sure I saw it there
i live in the us near chicago
This helped me understand Lovecrafts short story way better. Dr seus also good
THIS. Exactly this.
I don't even NEED to read the original!
MindlessDuck3 yay I can understand what's going on
This is a masterpiece, albeit using two authors styles, but a masterpiece.
i want dr seuss in the style of lovecraft
Now I want that as well.
+hk hjg That would be awesome. If I had kids, I would read H.P. Lovecraft and the Simon Necronomicon to them as bedtime stories, along with Le Dictionairre Infernale, Liber Officium Spiritum, Grimorium Verum, the 6th and 7th books of Moses, The Goetia, The Al Azeeth, ya know, basic light reading for kids of all ages, agelessness, and aeons :) Edit: I forgot to mention that my kid's nightly prayers would include Ia, Ia, Cthulhu, Fhtagn
How the Grinch Stole Christmas done like The Outsider.

Your amazing voice really added to the story; I can't think of The Call of Cthulhu (for beginning readers or no) without imagining your voice.
Excellent. Also, I am glad that no one on here complained about any of the changes from Lovecrafts(cough)less than polite words for people of colour. The animated comic for "The Rats in the Walls"I saw a short time ago had so many people complaining about the change of the name of the cat.
I really enjoyed this. Great work. =D

Next Up: The Necronomicon for Kids :)
MisterTutor2010 I think H.R. Geiger made a preschool version. Just pictures though.
HAHAHAHAHA! I can imagine that, it would be horrible but hilarious if the necronomicon that was invented in the mind of H.P.Lovecraft was actually real and had all the summonings and they actually worked, oh boy, kids would probably accidentally summon a shugoth or a deep one, even worse Cthulhu or some other great old one, or even an elder god like Nyarlethotep
"Haha hey let's stop the drums and wake up Azatho-" [pop]
@@magnawaves Its pipes, seven demonic pipers are what keeps Azathoth in slumber IIRC
I was not expecting the accuracy. Good work!
He reads "The paths that the explorers refused to take" twice and "The part of it all that most piqued my attention" isn't read out at all.
As soon as I noticed that I paused and came here to see who else had heard.
He also pronounced a few words weirdly (understandable for the made up lovecraft words) in ways that made it not rhyme
You know, *shrugs* for kids
Bradley Cagle if only his diagrams were dragon bodied, squid faced monsters, rather than circles! It will always be the proxy that a hudsucker would never understand
Dr. Seuss, are you feeling okay?
I wish I had kids to read this to. I Guess I'll just have to instead read to my great nephew.
Dude, that voice could read a nutrition label and make it sound interesting.
And somehow, this is scarier than the actual story.
Read that to your brat next time he wants a bedtime story
I did, she had nightmares for a week. Tonight I'm allowed to read her bedtime stories again. I was asked for one about a fish. So I will tell her 'The Shadow over Innsmouth.'
Arbiters Kiss I pity any kids whose dad is a brony and calls them a brat
Arbiters Kiss
She will never trust you again.
Arbiters Kiss you're an absolute monster lol
Wow.....
I swear I'm going to read this to my future kids as a good-night story.
I dont know why, this video it's impossible to find with the TH-cam search engine. Gladly I saved it in my favourites, because that's the only way I can hear it again 😔
This is amazing. I hope you get a gazillion views.
This was AWESOME!! I would love to hear more horror stories read like Dr Seuss.
Combining my favorite childhood author and favorite adult author? Why thank you
Why does this only have 12K views?
Seems like it should have more. It's a great video, reminds me of the hunt.
Because people have sense enough to not think about this stuff! Yall gon be sorry. I know.
I won’t have to worry, because I’m a shoe. Shoes can’t succumb to madness. @_@
Jess Hull now it’s 28k
The bigger question is: why the dislikes?
Excellent job. Did the story proud.
could we buy that in print anywhere?i know i would get it .
It's on Amazon
Absolutely genuis and interesting
idea. From the writing, to the rhym-
es, all of the effort put into this was
very well done. I love this piece of
childish, yet adult feeling literature.
Nice work, on the Tats video your voice tended to kinda get weird in my opinion, but here, it's amazing!
Dude... This is fantastic! Crazy props to you
This isn't more popular?
It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond Skai,
no man can kill cat, and this I can verify.
this is really good, great reading, intuitive art...
Dude your voice was perfect for this hope you do more h.p lovecraft stories man and this story was perfect for me to listen to while i was playing bloodborn man
It's weird reading the comments now that I'm expecting them to rhyme. It just happens when you hear it for a very long time.
I wasn't about to read the entirety of the actual book so this is my best alternative
Amazing 👌👌👌
Perfect, how is this even possible?
This was awesome. The drawings and the meter brought me back to Dr. Seuss. The speaker has a few trips here and there but otherwise? Great show.
Extrodinary, exquisite, extreme,
and totally extravagant. Well done.
I imagine that Dr. Seuss would have given this story a more uplifting ending.
spongeintheshoe not Lovecraft, though.
Hence why this comment was specifically placed on a video titled "If DR. SEUSS Wrote The Call of Cthulu".
my god, thank you for this.. my life is now complete.
Please do more hp Lovecraft story's like this
this is all way freakin better than it deserves to be with that title
great job really
Why is this unlisted? This great.
This is legit pretty damn good. Amazing.
I can't express how much I love this
I love the deep narration & music.
I have a copy of this book. It is almost too good
2018 and still one of the best videos i have seen
Excellent work! This is content which made my day! Thanks and more please?
The abyss returns...even the boldest gaze
While some of your pronunciations are a bit off ('Emma' pronounced "eema"?), this is by far the best reading of this I have found! Well done!
Great job on this, I loved it! You really made the whole thing even that much better.
This is...actually pretty cool. good job
if cthulhu is made immortal by the sheer strength of his will then the destruction of his mind might mean the certain death of his body and for all the exaggeration of his power over past generations it is likely that humans simply out thought him already.
You can't destroy a mind
...or that HE will never die, never be defeated, and shall rise again when the cosmos aligns, and spread untold terror, destruction and madness to the minds of those not lucky enough to experience instantaneous death! LORD CTHULHU shall wipe this insignificant mouldy rock clean of the parasitic lifeforms who have arrogantly spread upon it, sparing only those few who serve HIS greatness! The time is coming again....
Victory...
A hollow and ridiculous notion,
We were born with this thing, Made from it.
And we will be returned to it, in time.
A great family of man,
A profusion of errant flesh
Multiplying.
Swarming.
Living.
Dying.
Until the stars align in their inexorable formation.
And what sleeps, Is aroused once more.
To hatch from this fragile shell of earth and rock, And bring our inescapable end...
So seek solace in your manner, Befitting your lineage.
And take up your nugatory vigil
Haunted forever by that sickening prose, Echoing through the infinite blackness of space and time.
"Ruin Has Come To Our Family
SheTheTDE logic does not apply to Cthulhu
4:17
Great work! There is however a mistake here, you repeat yourself.
They need to do more like this
This is the same quality as of when Vincent Price read the Raven! :D
*Claps.* I am thoroughly impressed and entertained. Great show.
Great reading! Your voice gives it the sense of mystery which kept me watching thank you
Beside a few inconsequential mispronunciations, this was spectacular!
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
good pictures
didn't actually know the cthulu mythos well and hadn't read this book, but this made it all easy. thank you!
Microman Channel its surprisingly accurate.
wow this actually made me understand the story a little better
I like how the closet to reading a lovecraftian book is from a Dr. Seuss style book.
but as i value my sanity i guess it's best i know as little of Cthulhu as possible :D
this is oddly fitting for Lovecraft work
This is the greatest thing I've seen all year.
DAMN this is great and the beginning was excellent, I want to read the real book now
No idea why you would do this but I am glad you did.
I friggin love it! Great job!
Why am I getting asmr vibes from this
Only 3k views? I do not understand. This is quality content.
Joey Raczynski Now it has 42,000. Still deserves way more for the amount of effort put into it
No repeat views. Too many people watch this video and end up dead or institutionalized...or so I hear. It could just be malarkey, since we never *ia! IA! Son of the thousand-faced moon! The King in Yellow awakes! G'thonia ia!*
I would love to see R'lyeh in this style with elements from games like Antichamber or the Cthulhu Super Mario World hack
OMFG!!! That was brilliant. I would totally buy this book! The 17 dislikes? Pissed off Cthulhu cultists.
Better story than Cloverfield Paradox.
Everything is a better story than that.
i meeeeeean it was a better story, but the cloverfield paradox was a pretty fun film.
hey thats my arm! its typing a message all on its own....
I'm having a hard time trying to think of a movie worse than Cloverfield paradox............... Oh yeah! The Ghost Buster remake.
H8rdwork you fucking idiot
There is another video reading what seems to be the same book, same author but different illustrations and text.
I can only assume it got a heavily revised subsequent edition.
It did. I think this version I did is based on the older one? It's been a few years, but remember seeing on Reddit that a few new drawings were made.
This deserves more watches and likes!
this was an amazing job, though I personally hate the AABB style of rhyming as opposed to ABAB, but that was seuss's style so I can't complain
Your voice is fantastic
Amazingly cool! Fantastic work!!!
Outstanding, nice work!
As a big fan of the call of Cthulhu book this is pretty cool
I loved the original so fucking much.
The tone and style of reading is great, and the music is fantastic, but there are a LOT of places where you ignored the rhyming scheme or made other errors; most obviously when you skip and entire line after the page flip around 8:10.

Hey, haven't I seen you on Tats TopVideos' creepypasta lists?
I love this! Some weird mis-reading though, like saying "sculpt-ot" instead of sculptor. Could use editing to be really great.
beautiful just beautiful
Great stuff all round
I needed this. I never knew it, but I did. 👍
good work therepeating was kinda funny but all in all a really good video.
I appreciate the Requiem for a Dream rip-off. Also, who wins? The immortal and infernal priest of the Elder Gods whose simple visage is enough to break most minds in twain or a steamboat full of ballsy Norwegians?
I can't understand this *poetic magic.*
This video is hidden from TH-cam's search engine :/
It's very hard to find it...
God this rhyme so good
Cannot like/share this enough.
Yes this is awesome!!! Thank you!!!
+foxguy90 Glad you enjoyed!
I can see this story being made into a movie.
