Fans of comedy horror (ok so this isn't reeeeally horror) might enjoy this volume of Tales from the Crypt, which contains 3 shorts: "DEAD DOG DIED", "KILL, BABY, KILL" and "WICKEDER" a parody of WICKED. There is also a sneak peak in the back of a parody of HARRY POTTER titled HARRY POTTY AND THE DEATHLY BORING. The illustrator changes between each story and there really isn't much to say other than it was a light 15 minute read that I think some preteens (especially boys?) might enjoy. I think when I was that age was when I started enjoying the Tales from the Crypt movies because they were the closest thing to scary I could handle. These are of course no where near scary but you might find yourself with an unexpected smirk or two.

Art - 4 Stars - I loved the choice in illustration style that fit each story perfectly.
Story - waffles between a 3.5 and a 4 Stars - I favor the first and last story the best. ( )

I *like* parodies. This one, hold your nose and drink quickly, if at all. ( )
