H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness for Beginning Readers
Q&A for H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness for Beginning Readers
Q. How different is this from H.P. Lovecraft's 1936 original story?
A. This is Lovecraft's original story, first published in 1936, written in anapestic tetrameter and with entirely original art.
Q. Is his book suitable for 'beginning readers'?
A. Yes.
Q. What is anapestic tetrameter?
A: Anapestic
tetrameter is a poetic rhythm often used in children's stories. Each
line consists of four units of rhythm, known as 'feet'. Each foot has
two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. A well-known
example is the beginning line of Clement Clarke Moore's poem "Twas the
Night Before Christmas" (aka "A Visit from St. Nicholas"): "Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house / not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
Q. Is this book copying Dr Seuss?
A. H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madess for Beginning Readers is
not a reskinning of a Dr. Seuss story, nor does it use any Dr Seuss
characters, storylines or images. It contains entirely original art, and
the storyline comes directly from H.P. Lovecraft. Of course R.J.
Ivankovic was influenced by Theodor Geisel's amazing artwork (his use of
non-Euclidian geometry was visually second to nobody!) But we
acknowledge the influence of Shel Silverstein, Jules Feiffer, Maurice
Sendak, and every other sanity-damaging children's book illustrator of
our youth, and also Clement Clarke Moore for his popularization of
anapestic tetrameter.
