Brad Gosse’s *Buster: The Perverted Ghost* is definitely *not* your typical children's book—nor is it meant to be. Part of his series of “Rejected Children's Books,” it’s packed with dark humor, crude jokes, and boundary-pushing content that will appeal more to an adult audience than any traditional picture book crowd. The title alone sets the tone: this is satire in the most outrageous way.

Buster, the ghost in question, is far from the friendly apparitions you might find in a spooky bedtime story. Instead, his character is full of cheeky innuendo and adult-themed antics that make this book a parody of kid’s literature. Gosse’s sharp, no-holds-barred humor is woven throughout the pages, and while the book mimics the style of children's picture books with its simple prose and colorful illustrations, its content is more aligned with dark comedy.

As with the rest of Gosse’s work, the book pokes fun at the wholesome and sanitized nature of children's publishing by going in the exact opposite direction. It’s unapologetically irreverent, and the humor can be hit or miss depending on your taste for crude jokes and shock value. This style of humor will definitely make some readers laugh out loud, while others might find it a little too far over the top.

The illustrations are playful and vivid, giving a deceptively innocent look to the book that contrasts with the content. It’s this balance of childlike design with adult humor that gives the book its comedic edge, and the exaggerated character of Buster adds to the ridiculousness.

Overall, *Buster: The Perverted Ghost* is meant for an audience with a specific taste for edgy, satirical humor—definitely not for kids, despite the picture book format. Fans of Gosse’s other "rejected" books will enjoy the wild, laugh-out-loud moments here. If you're looking for a quick, light read that’s absurd, provocative, and doesn’t take itself too seriously, this book fits the bill perfectly. Just be prepared: it's definitely not one to share at your next family storytime!

This is a general review for all of the Brad Gosse books I read.
It is honestly somewhat hard to really describe these as books, specifically seeing the way Brad Gosse himself markets these, which is by presenting them as children books and reading them out to people in video chats, supposedly without people being really aware of what they are about to listen to, which seems as if the author is more interested in getting a reaction from people based on the surprise from the topic of the book rather than in someone actually getting something out of the books. Now, some of his books cover important topics and raise important discussions, such as the way that people pretend that racism is natural in “My Racist Dog” and discussion of alcoholism in “Why Daddy Hits Mommy”. But I do not think that this is actual educational material that is bringing anything of value to the discussion, instead, this is content made to raise eyebrows and get a lot of attention and it, sadly, does not seem like much more than that.
