Creepy Susie and 13 other tragic tales for troubled children.

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.

Angus Oblong is legally insane and an avid collector of dead trees that clutter his tiny unlit studio apartment. His fascination with physical deformities stems from the fact that a living, movable right hand is growing from the center of his back. Otherwise, he is perfectly normal.
