Is Winona Ryder Still with the Dude from Soul Asylum? and Other LURID Tales of TERROR and DOOM!!! by Douglas Hackle
My rating: 4/5 cats
it took me almost a year to review this -i got it into my head that i wanted to do an illustrated review for this collection, since i’d already sortof done that for The Hottest Gay Man Ever Killed in a Shark Attack, but i never seemed to have time to make it happen. but thank god for cancer, right? thanks to post-op recovery time, which brings you this long-postponed “review,” in which words are replaced by pictures. here are some things that happen in each of the stories in this collection, drawn by a mediocre artist:
The Two Times I Was a Mean Man
Tokens
The Powell/Fourth Dog Incident
The Ghost, the Boulder, and the Glaive
TERROR SARDINES in TERROR SAUCE
Not That It Matters, but the War of 1812 Was Kinda Hawt
The Unpursued Person
I Won the MegaSuperLotto*
A Small Owl with a Broken Wing (from Compton)
Is Winona Ryder Still with the Dude from Soul Asylum?
The Many Bad Habits of My Main Man, Klin-Klat, A.K.A. the Tap Dance Kid
This Puppet Puts the “P” in “Puppet”
Got Me a Date with an Uptown Girl
The Case of the Already-Solved Case
Flawless Face®
The Bored Ouija Board
TERROR THING
All Superhero Movies and Shows Are Fucking Boring, Zombies Are Lame, Cthulhu Is Stupid, and Everything Is Fucked
Our Hearts Will Go On, Yo
THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END THE END
* this one is a cheat. there was nothing in this story that i could draw. and considering that i managed to find a way to draw the drum fill from In the Air Tonight, that’s saying something. instead, i drew “a dried-out white dog turd,” which, while it is not something mentioned in this particular story, is mentioned in a LOT of them, so many in fact that i had originally planned on drawing a dried-out white dog turd in all of the pictures, hidden like inna Highlights Magazine page. but i didn’t. or did i? have fun figuring it out, suckas!
