Praise for this book
A New York Times bestseller-- "The New York Times"
"Brown's panels-bordered in black, drawn in pencil, and digitally composed and colored-cleverly combine the mood of film noir with the low-tech look of early children's television staging for an aesthetic that is atmospheric, but not overwhelming.... Panels in varying sizes and multiple perspectives keep pace with Reynolds's tongue-in-cheek narrative.... This age-appropriate horror story takes children's fears seriously and then offers them an escape through genuine comic relief."--School Library Journal
* "Serve this superbly designed title to all who relish slightly scary stories."--Kirkus Reviews in a STARRED review
* "A spot-on parody of a paranoid thriller...."--Publishers Weekly in a starred review
