5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Must-Read of Fresh & Psychotic Entertainment, March 24, 2008

Adam P. Knave pulls no punches. Zombies, ghosts, demons, donuts, teenage beauty pageants, many hapless victims, and Mr. Binkles all blend magically in this tour de force of horror, dripping sarcasm, and reality inspired mayhem. Knave paints colorful and believable landscapes from the every day reality of our lives. These stories make you jump, laugh, and think and always end in some unexpected fashion. This is not your everyday writer and these are not everyday stories. This is an awesome book that entertains from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zombies and Demons and Teddy Bears, Oh My!, March 24, 2008

This review is from: Crazy Little Things (Paperback)

Adam P. Knave knows that for different people, fear comes from different places. With Crazy Little Things, he explores twelve different sources of fear, and is bound to have at least one which will strike a nerve with you. His stories feel real, packed with the kind of dialog and reactions you would expect were the situations in those stories to come true. This gives gives the twists he applies to traditional story elements of zombies, fairies, and even beauty pageants that much more punch. This is a collection you'll want to read in the dark, curled up with your favorite teddy bear.

On second thought, you might not want the bear nearby.

Knave has a way of getting to me. After reading his Mr. Binkles stories I will never be able to buy a teddy bear for a child again--I won't take on that responsibility. And when it comes to beauty pagents, it didn't take long for memories of Jon Benet Ramsey to fill my head and make me wonder as I read "Pretty Little Dead Girls." But the cream of the crop, and a grand crop it is, is the title story, frightening and tender in its own peculiar way. Can't wait to see what his strange, eerie mind devises next. Now why is a little voice inside my head saying, "be afraid, be very afraid"?
