In a world where speaking to "wise men" is more like dealing with tech support and romance can be deadly, Thursday will have to contend with: the wicked cannibal queen, a zombie grizzly bear, wee werewolves, robot laser-shooting mermaids, a steampunk tortoise, and a Zen archer monkey.Additionally, she will meet the Schumacher Hound and find a haunted Halloween cuckoo clock temple and that's just the beginning in this tale of whimsical wandering in the dreamlike tradition of Alice in Wonderland.Thursday Thistle, written by August V. Fahren, is a fairytale done as a nightmare.  Take the Brothers Grimm, Lewis Carroll and Mother Goose, give them all nightmares and have them write a story together, and this is what you would get. Will Thursday complete her quest?  Will she even make it out alive?  Definitely not for children, Thursday Thistle is a fast, fun read if you like your fairy tales dark.  This could have been a dark confused mishmash of images, but in Mr. Fahren's hands, it is well written and coherent in its own little world.  This tale is well worth your time.[...]
