Ghostly But Too Yucky,
By Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kate Culhane: A Ghost Story (Hardcover)
I love Michael Hague's art so I usually snap up anything he does. In this book which is a retelling of a mid-nineteenth century ghost story from Ireland, Hague is in his usual great form with the illustrations. This is a spooky tale with some pretty ghastly imagery that Hague really nails. While visiting the new grave of her mother, poor Kate Culhane accidently steps on another nearby grave and becomes the unwilling servant of its inhabitant as a result. The ghost is a vampire of sorts and requires her to cut her boyfriend and mix some of his blood in with some oatmeal and eat it. See what I mean? Yucky! Kate is a clever girl, however, and she figures a way out of this mess but not until she's really gone through a lot of trauma. Please don't read this to any little kids until you've checked it out yourself. It really is a no-holds-barred ghost story and a good one but I would rather see Hague illustrate a scary story that doesn't have bloody oatmeal in it. But that's just me....
