At Death's Door: A Picture Book for Grown-Ups
At Death's Door: A Picture Book for Grown-Ups | Ben Joel Price
4 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Greetings to all with a penchant for the darker things in life. Settle down and prepare yourself for a twisty, tricksy, cautionary tale of troublesome terror as we follow a dastardly dozen of trick-or-treaters on a night of Halloween hell! Be warned: this nuisance bunch of roustabouts (including a rusty robot, a kooky clown, and a malodorous merman) is armed with an arsenal of devious tricks such as flour bombs, rotten eggs, water pistols, and more. The turbulent twelve are out to collect, taking no prisoners . . . that is, until they ring the door at number twelve and things take a turn for the worse. Woe betide them . . . woe betide them all! At Deaths Door: A Picture Book for Grown-Ups is a macabre delight for both the young and old. Author and illustrator Ben Joel Price (Love Bites) brings together a gruesome hoard of children who are out for a little trick or treat fun--but who get much more than they bargained for. Fans of horror films and graphic novels will enjoy this grisly Halloween picture book. Its the perfect read for a spooky Halloween evening and a great gift for that sick and twisted friend.

A Halloween picture book for adults with a little story told in rhymes. Cute, funny, and a little dark. I enjoyed this one.

Described as “a picture book for adults”, this darkly humoured book is full of brilliant illustrations, with a Halloween story told in rhymes. I read it every Halloween, and laugh every single time.

I suggest you check your library‘s Libby or hoopla catalog to see if they carry it, because it‘s fantastic!🎃

Here‘s the initial lineup for my #TeamSlaughter picks! A few audiobooks, a few ebooks, and one adult picture book. Have you guys read any of these?

October, I‘m ready for you!

overtheedge I really enjoyed My Best Friends Exorcism, but it's not as good as Horrorstör. 5y
JacqMac I liked My Best Friends Exorcism. And Zoo is really good. Much better than the tv show, which was good. 5y
Jesstifies I have also read My Best Friend's Exorcism and enjoyed it too. Scary business isn't really my favorite genre, but I found myself enjoying the book. I was hoping for a little more camp and 80s jokes (like maybe the movie Cabin in the Woods?) but it ended up just feeling like a spooky story. 5y
kamoorephoto I LURVE My Best Friend‘s Exorcism (and Horrorstör); I really enjoy Grady‘s sense of humor in his writing... 5y

Considering I am honestly obsessed with all things Halloween, I'm not surprised that I absolutely loved this short story. 🎃🕷
