Book Reviews of Creepy Susie: And 13 Other Tragic Tales for Troubled Children
Book Review: At the very least worth a try
Summary: 4 Stars
While I wouldn't say Creepy Susie is the best book in its class it's defiantly a funny and entertaining read that wouldn't take up to much of your time.
Gruesome and in their own way charming tales one must keep in mind these are stories made for adults and for people who don't mind a little bit of twisted and vulgar humor. The child like illustrations of the book often add very well to the dark themes of each tale, and the majority of the stories I found to be either fresh takes on older ideas ( such as Happy Sammy and the idea of conformity ) or themes that I either haven't seen done or you just don't see a lot of ( as in Narcoleptic Scottie ) .
Some of my personal favorites being Happy Happy Happy Happy Sammy, Emily, Amputee ( short but very sweet ), Narcoleptic Scottie ( if you ask me the best story of the bunch ), and Jenny, Jenny, Jenny and Babette: the Siamese Quadruplets.
All in all I would defiantly recommend picking up this book.
