  <default_description>Creepy Susie. Mary Had a Little Chainsaw. Milo's Disorder. Rosie's Crazy Mother. The Siamese Quadruplets. Emily Amputee. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your mother never told you these stories.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She didn't want to scare you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But Angus Oblong is not your mother.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If Edgar Allan Poe and David Lynch wrote a book, it might be as warped, wicked, and perversely funny as this treasury of twisted tales from childhood's Twilight Zone. So don't be alarmed if you find yourself screaming . . . with laughter . . . until the day you die. Which may be very soon . . .&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Definitely not for children. It's offbeat and funny, but more in an offensive South Park way than a sophisticated Edward Gorey way. I got a kick out of it. It's mostly drawings with a sentence or two per pages, so it can be read in about an hour (or less). ]]></body>
