I totally loved the dedication; it was so sweet, yet
funny.
This is told in little chunks of story, each one from
a different point of view from each individual involved. You can tell the
differing author styles through the characters and really lends a great “voice”
and out look on each person.
The basic premise is that a Dracula type skull is
found, surrounded by legend it is then bought and delivered to a dying
millionaire, who (of course!) allows it to bite him….. and so begins the horror
in a little backwoods hospital when he is rushed their by his palliative Nurse
and researcher/treasure finder.
The varying characters via their different authors approach
the monsters in different ways, the humour is as huge as the teeth.
The gore is free flowing, abundant with plenty of
blood and bits. Amongst it all are two
very touching love stories; however, they both have issues!
When Benny the Clown starts to make flamingos from
intestines I could not stop giggling and trying to explain this to Hubby was
not a good moment in my marriage, I think he seriously started to question my
sanity. However the various drawings throughout the book helped him see why I
found it quite so funny!
This was a fantastic, engaging and grotesque read,
some parts made me gag, some cry and some laugh so hard I needed to actually
put my kindle down and calm myself.
We, the reader, are then treated to a giant flowing
interview between all four authors and how they managed to pull this off.
Then we are given about 50% of bonus materials which
is simply staggering each author gives us a full blown novella as follow on.
Finally we are promised many more sequels so I will be
on the look out for these. All of these
authors are fantastic to read and I can’t wait to get my mitts on more of their
work.
