They're the good guys, and this is mostly their story. SPOILERS alert. Three or four times each century, a full moon waxes on the last day of October, on All Hallow's Eve. On these rare and portentous occasions, a gateway ...

Quirky and always surprising
What an unusual book! This is my first exposure to any of Mr. Wilson's work and I am completely charmed. The illustration at the start of each story provides a clue to it's ending. It became fun to study the picture and hope that I could guess what was to come. I was never able to do it! The stories are a complete and engaging mystery until the very end. I especially enjoyed the macabre ...

Murder For Christmas by Agatha Christie

Great book!
My boyfriend gave me this book to read just for fun and it turned out to be great. Short stories in comic book form. Interesting, humorous, and just fun to read. I've started collecting all the "Big Book of.." books and so far I haven't found one that I don't like. They would make awesome gifts for kids in Jr. High and High school. But they are enjoyable for any age group. Even my parents ...

Dc Comics, 1996

Worth the Price of Admission
Written by repected cartoonist, Gahan Wilson (appropriately so since he is a direct descendant of P.T. Barnum), this is a fascinating look at the history of freaks in real life and in the media and treats the subject with a great deal of reverence and respect. Wilson goes beyond merely presenting the histories of various famous freaks, but also examines why we are so fascinated by them and ...

A good book of stories
The stories in this book are good. The addition of Wilson's cartoons is what elevates this book to great. A super read for short story fans who appreciate Wilson's twisted sense of humor.
