From Scott Lefton, a man of many and varied tastes: The Eldritch Quintuplets.

Are Lovecraft's stories too long to read? Are the words too strange and difficult?

The Eldritch Quintuplets provides the solution--the complete fictional works of HP Lovecraft, rewritten as limericks:

There was a Mad Arab who said
That Cthulhu, though dreaming, is dead,
But some future night
When the stars become right,
He'll abandon his watery bed.

If anyone wants to buy me an early birthday gift, the special edition containing a limerick written especially for the receiver would make my day.
