This Is A Good Book

I am a fan of Andrew Hussie because of MS Paint Adventures. I bought this book because I heard about it from somewhere on that site, or something. I like the story, and I like the art, and I like it a lot as a whole. It is GOOD STUFF.

What idiot tagged this as a childrens' book?

The Starlight Calliope is surreal, ersatz genius from a guy whose art I saw on the internet and wanted to support. A bizarre tale of insane clowns, cannibalism, murder, and psychedelic cities, if you don't buy this (New, not used) you're dumb. Where's part 2?

darkness should be your chewing gum...

so my lazy butt finally got around to reading this wonderful and spot on story about Byron...or Lord Byron. those in the goth scene will recognize themselves and all the other characters that inhabit the dark realm of the goth world...otherwise known as plebs in fangs... those that enjoy a bit of humor with their gore will appreciate this story of Byron as he faces posers, hallucinogenic toads, his brother(s) in a jar, the casually murderous Ms. Tallow and Mr Barrow, an undead murderous nun, a vampire on a mission from god and dark cthulhu forces. an enjoyable read...i only hope Byron is not so disillusioned with his life that he abandons his dark ways in the next volume. my girlfriend liked it as well and gave it five stars! ;) she's a snarky one.
