We’re all familiar with the classic Halloween ghost – you
cut two eyeholes out of a bed sheet and BOO!
You’ve created a simple, ready-to-go costume. But what if these friendly haunts walked—erm, floated—among us in
real life? If we encountered them on a
day-to-day basis, how would they look?
Writer, designer, and stand-up comedian Doogie Horner explores every
sort of spook in 100 Ghosts: A Gallery of Harmless Haunts.
Inside 100 Ghosts, haunts come in every shape and
size imaginable. In addition to your
“classic” bed sheet with eyes, you’ll find new faces, like mustached,
no-nonsense “Undercover Cop,” a fuzzy Muppet, and Marilyn Monroe prettily posed
above that famous air vent. You’ll
encounter a threadbare “Homemade” ghost with button eyes and patches, a nervous
ghost with a literal knot in his stomach, and a ravenous ghost slurping down a
bowl of spaghetti (where does it go?!).
100 Ghosts is a whimsical, haunting
collection that shows that ghosts, like their human counterparts, can come in
all different shapes, sizes, and personalities. This fun book is a delightful gift for adults, kids, and anyone
in need of a friendly fright.
3/5 stars (liked it)
I received this as an advance read from Quirk books. I read this book in one sitting and found
the pictures really silly and creative.
I also had my husband read it and my 9-year-old son read it. I think my 9-year-old son got the biggest
kick out of it. This is a book that I
will leave sitting out on my coffee table for guest to leaf through. I think one of my favorite ghost was “Harry
Potter” ghost.
