highly recommended

Creepy Susie. Mary Had a Little Chainsaw. Milo's Disorder. Rosie's Crazy Mother. The Siamese Quadruplets. Emily Amputee.

Your mother never told you these stories.

She didn't want to scare you.

But Angus Oblong is not your mother.

If Edgar Allan Poe and David Lynch wrote a book, it might be as warped, wicked, and perversely funny as this treasury of twisted tales from childhood's Twilight Zone. So don't be alarmed if you find yourself screaming . . . with laughter . . . until the day you die. Which may be very soon . . .

From the Hardcover edition.

awesome awesome awesome!

best book in the world, it's just as wierd and strange as the Oblong's show, haha. Buy it, read it, enjoy it!

Wrong, wrong, wrong, and I LOVE IT!!!!!

Angus Oblong has written a collection of warped stories in the mold of a bedtime book for kids - but keep this away from them. This is for adults only. This is one of those things that you find yourself laughing hysterically at, and then feeling a little guilty because some of the stories are just horrible......and then you laugh again. I absolutley recommend this book for fans of VERY dark and random humor. Stay away if you're a bit sensitive. Otherwise, its very funny!!

At the very least worth a try

While I wouldn't say Creepy Susie is the best book in its class it's defiantly a funny and entertaining read that wouldn't take up to much of your time.

Gruesome and in their own way charming tales one must keep in mind these are stories made for adults and for people who don't mind a little bit of twisted and vulgar humor. The child like illustrations of the book often add very well to the dark themes of each tale, and the majority of the stories I found to be either fresh takes on older ideas ( such as Happy Sammy and the idea of conformity ) or themes that I either haven't seen done or you just don't see a lot of ( as in Narcoleptic Scottie ) .

Some of my personal favorites being Happy Happy Happy Happy Sammy, Emily, Amputee ( short but very sweet ), Narcoleptic Scottie ( if you ask me the best story of the bunch ), and Jenny, Jenny, Jenny and Babette: the Siamese Quadruplets.

All in all I would defiantly recommend picking up this book.
