“If you want to get involved in a fun world, this is the book. Not only is the story solidly written, but it constantly deals out unpredictable surprises. Making this story even more interesting though, are the pictures, and the tale of how this story came to be! It is worth your time to read the history behind these creepy pictures, and the author’s endeavors to create this story.” By Pocketmouse
“I starting reading this to the kids (12, 10 and 7) and really it’s not for kids. Alcohol, drug references, violence and profanity. I would say it would be an interesting read for young adult or older people. I ended up not reading it to them after the first few chapters. That’s probably my fault for assuming it was appropriate for kids because of the title.” By Sunshine Girl
