I found this book advertised in a strange location.....on Perez Hilton.com. Not the place I usually find books, but there it was on the smaller side ads showing it's beautiful cover and I was sold. I looked up Douglas Clegg and saw he was the writer of a bunch of cool horror books and thought this might be pretty good.
It's a tiny little book, more like an elongated fairy tale then a whole book. Overall it was good, but I would have like to have seen it as a whole book. It felt too compact. The message of the book was awesome. What happens after you bring someone back from the dead? What happens if you wish them back to you in any form? I loved that part of the story. It's a different way to think about returning from the dead. Since I am also reading Wuthering Heights (which I'll review later this week) I saw a lot of parallels between the two stories. There is a love so deep that you can't live without the person you are missing and you ask for them to haunt you.. Not a good idea I would say.
I recomend it, but get it at the library like I did. I wouldn't really call it an instant classic, so you don't really need it on your library shelves. The drawings are amazing so if you're into illustration then buy it, otherwise just check it out from the library.
