Book Reviews of The Surgeon's Tale
Book Review: A must read for any dark-hearted children
Summary: 5 Stars
Walking a grim path and keeping it alight with laughter is a rare gift, and something that Cat Rambo and Jeff Vandermeer seem to have mastered. Able to at once provide morbid details as well as delight the heart, these two have created a hodge-podge of stories that are absolutely vital for anyone who enjoys dark humor or fantasy. The slightly stomach churning details of preparing a dead body in A Surgeon's Tale are combined with the entrancing overtones of love and moral values in a time where magick is kept alive in small pockets. Traditions are thrown to the wind in Dead Girl's Wedding March with fantastic and grim results. The Farmer's Cat is fanciful and heart warming, ending on a folksy note that few modern stories can properly capture, and the final story in which several Lovecraftian recipes are divulged has been the reason of this reviewer losing tens of hours in his own kitchen trying to replicate the lovely ideas with real world components.
Treat yourself, and read this book. If you love your friends, treat them too.
