Reviews
"I like the way Roman Dirge draws stuff!" - Neil Gaiman
"An unholy union betweem Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss!" - LA Times
"If you can put at least three ticks next to these five options of: Spike Milligan, Roald Dahl, Tim Burton, Dr. Seuss, and Grimm's Fairy Tales, then you can happily read this book" - Flickering Myth
"Dirge has managed to maintain that lunacy; that firm grasp on childlike celebration of the wonderfully weird, and has given readers a fantastic journey into the depths of it." - Geekmom
"This hardcover edition has a solid binding, glossy pages that highlight the illustrations, and features a cute, if slightly creepy, cover. While definitely not a book for everyone - and one that many may find more disturbing than charming - dark humored individuals may want to take a look, and fans of Lenore will want to get their hands on this colorful and creepy collection." - Portland Book Review
