This book was cute. I liked the artwork, mostly, but the story felt a little flat.

Well...
This was not an altogether bad book, but it is misleading to call it a horror novel. It isn't. It is the story of a man who was raised in an abusive and neglectful home by drug addled parents living in a poverty of their own making. It is a story of strength and love, it is a story of how this man escaped these awful circumstances, attended college and built a life for himself. It is a story of stopping the cycle of abuse, raising his own children with his wife and making a real family. It is also the story of how his upbringing still haunts him. But even throwing a ghost in the mix does not make this a horror novel.
3 out of 5 stars
I received a complimentary copy for review.

Frank and Kevin are two friends - a vampire and a vampire bat - who set sail for adventure together.

The art is well done but the story is not my favorite. The rhyming does not always flow and some of the scenes are bizarre - the depiction of pilgrims and indigenous Americans is a bit outdated and insensitive and there's some weird patriotism going on with them fighting in the American Revolution. I would have enjoyed the book more without those scenes.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.… (altro)

Emotionally draining, but amazing

While this is shelved as horror it's really not. This is a story about PTSD and guilt and how it can haunt a person more than any ghost.
