Giggles is back for the long haul!Readers familiar with Crane's drabble collections know all about the horrifying little sock monkey. Now the author has given him his own novella and set him lose to rain down his terror.I was lucky enough to read an advance copy of Giggles, and I'm sure glad I did. If you're the kind of person who enjoys Tales from the Crypt- and Twilight Zone-style stories, you're absolutely going to love this novella.Crane is brilliant at creating atmospheric tension, and his fleshed-out characters are scarily believable. That he's able to achieve so much in a tightly plotted novella is almost unbelievable; the balance between development and action is perfect. There were several scenes so disturbing they gave me the shivers, and other bits of dark humor that made me laugh out loud. All in all, if you're looking to get creeped out in the best way possible, buy this book now!
