The wrinkles that decorated his lips and skin were sagging. His hair. In the morning mum and dad always used to go in the yard to work, and the two children stayed with their grandfather. One afternoon. Also, while reading through the stories, there seemed to be a lot of dead parents involved.

It's like the world inhabited by Disney characters: either the mom is dead, or the dad is dead, or perhaps both of them are. Several of the kids were dealing with the loss of a parent, which is odd since it's not explicit in any of the photos. Maybe the black-and-white drawings just inspire that sort of gloomy thought? Not all the stories are scary, but many of them have at least some creepiness to them, which certainly fits the tone of the drawings and the overall mystery.

It made for pretty good Halloween reading, sort of like reading a collection of Ray Bradbury's stories. If you've got younger kids, you may want to preview the book before giving it to them — as with Bradbury's books, a few of these may send a few shivers down your spine, and would be liable to keep my seven-year-old up at night.

I thought that some of the authors did a better job at writing stories that really fit the pictures, whereas a few of them used the caption as more of a jumping off point, with the drawing serving more as initial inspiration than actual illustration of something that happens in the tale.

All of them, though, had to include the excerpt somewhere in the story exactly as originally written. It was fun to see how they would incorporate it, wondering where in the story it might show up.

Here's my suggestion: if you're a fan of the original and you've heard of at least a few of the authors, you should definitely get this book.
