If you enjoy Carroll's "Stories for Demented Children" collection (Unholy Cow, A Story for Demented Children (Stories for Demented Children),Attack of the Sugar Plum Fairies, A Story for Demented Children (Stories for Demented Children)Drippy the Peg Legged Rainbow, A Story for Demented Children (Stories for Demented Children), etc) then you will likely enjoy this work.It's the story of a young boy who gets lost and enlists a zombie to help him return home.  Despite the author's warnings, there really isn't anything in this story that would be too disturbing for a child exposed to regular age-appropriate media.  The warnings make me feel that he may think this stories are edgier than they are.  I don't really appreciate the humor, but I know these get glowing reviews from multiple reviews, so it's just a case of me not meshing with this particular style.The growing friendship between the boy and the zombie made this stronger than other works in the series, but I didn't enjoy the princess subplot and wouldn't want necessarily want to share it with my hypothetical daughter.
