Reviews

[Oscar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Creepy crazy funny short stories!

[Robert Bussie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is great. Kids through adults will enjoy these stories. It has fun parodies of Hellrasier, Sometimes They Come Back, The Lost Boys, and classic EC Horror Comics. The stories contain humor, a bit of horror and even a couple of lessons about not being a bully and watching what you say to others in anger.

The artwork varies from story to story to include homages to classic 1950's horror comics with off center coloring to cartoony styles with bright colors. There are even advertisements for novelties like in the classic comics of the 1950s.

Highly recommended for horror fans looking for something to make them laugh that they can enjoy with their kids.

Some strange little stories in this collection but always entertaining and with some great art styles.

Review is for both volumes read consecutively

Entertaining for audiences young and old alike, not an easy balancing act to pull off.
