A down-on-his-luck special effects guy unwittingly summons
the forces of Hell in this bizarre horror comedy adventure from August V Fahren.
Aided by a trio of fighting Nuns our hero must fight his way
through outlandish characters such as a kung-fu baby Jesus, a midget wrestler
and of course, the mannequins.
This book is like a wild episode of Creepshow, The Twilight
Zone and tales from The Crypt. Throw in a bit of Fright Night with Peter
Vincent and you get the idea.
I almost abandoned this one after a particularly vile
opening chapter which described an appalling act of animal cruelty. This is
quickly explained away as a hoax but a bitter taste did remain.
The rest of the book is a bizarre but occasionally
compelling read that requires much imagination on the part of the reader.
Unusual and at times inspired but ultimately just too
off-the-wall for me.
