Publisher's Summary:
Ready to feel the chills running down your spine? Wait, that's just the green gelatin monster from one of the stories in this collection of very silly (and a few not-so-silly) horror stories. Vampires, werewolves, demons, mummies, and zombies compete with evil little Shirley Temple look-alikes and their collectibles, centerpieces and church women, cops and monster hunters, for your laughs. It's a light-hearted take on the horror genre.

Unusually great stories!
Loved it! I first found out about this author's writing through a short story she had done in an anthology called "Redneck Eldritch" -- and I had just flat LOVED her story in that book. (And a lot of the other stories in there, too -- but I found myself reading hers, twice in one day, which I just don't do -- and laughing out loud in a number of places in the story!) I immediately looked up her name on Amazon, to see if she had an author's page. She did, and she has a cool personal web site, too -- so, anyway: one thing led to another, and I'm loving it! What I'm seeing so far is that her writing often mixes vertical and lateral thinking processes in a very interesting way, which most writers can't easily pull off; or maybe can't accomplish, at all. If you're tired of the same-old-same-old, and you want a writer to take you to fun places you didn't expect you'd be going, while thoroughly enjoying the trip (both while you're reading it, and after you're done with it), then you should read her stories!
Stories were wonderful, physical paper formatting less so
The actual stories--most of them were either hilarious or tragic, and all of them memorable. The irony and "magic meets urban in the most "yes that's exactly how it'd be hahahaha" was awesome.
Minor Details! hahahaha. Google "Lemon/Cursive", and it's a similar idea but on a cartoon. "Always a Bridesmaid": YEP. "Soul Mates" right next to "Charity Never Faileth" heeee that was funny, talk about Mood Shift. There are questions on "Go Home Lassie" and "Glutton's Purgatory"! "Indigenous Food" noooooo sads!! ohdear that's exactly how it would be, isn't it. "Red Light Green Light" Yep that thing exactly that thing. I kinda want to take "Butterfly Woman" and make a ballet out of it.
This was a lovely book, I liked all the stories in it. I'd yak about them more, but that'd be spoilers.
All the complaints I have are with the formatting and the physical paper book itself--It just seemed really "tightandstuffedtogether" but vertically, not horizontally on the paper book in that formatting, and with whatever serif font that was, it made it a bit of a bear to read. The capital letters vs the lower case letters on it clashed with each other.
If I'd bought the Kindle version instead of the paper one, that wouldn't have been an issue because Kindle lets you tweak your own formatting on the reader. Not sure if you'd fix that or your publisher or if it's even fixable or if it's just me annoyed with it and no one else even cares?? hm. Same exact words, different font/spacing on the page might make it easier to read though.
