Review: O.O Giggles! *shivers*
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 3, 2013
Mr. Giggles, first introduced in Mr. Crane's Lessons drabbles, returns for further mischief in this novella, quaking with excitement about his starring role. It is a dark, twisted, and disturbing tale. Ray and Chad are hiding out in an empty house after robbing a bank and committing a murder. Chad seems to be losing it, but is he? How will Ray handle his partner's mental meltdown? What is that evil sock monkey up to? And where is the missing family? Mr. Crane keeps you guessing about what is going on and each time you think you have figured it out, you're wrong. He has a knack for thoroughly grossing you out one minute, making your heart beat in fear the next, and finally describing an event that makes you "giggle."  The ending creeped me out! Including more details, would make this a spoiler review, which I dislike.This well written novella has blood, gore, horror, humor, and mind games! What more could you ask for? Mr. Crane's novelette A Gnome Problem changed the way I looked at garden gnomes; and now with this novella he's succeeded in changing my mind about sock monkeys being cute.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.
