I wanted to like this book, I was so eager and excited to read it. It has however taken me forever to get through the first little bit and I don't think I'm going to attempt to finish it right now. The overuse of "fancy" language was distracting and the POV are hard to follow. Might attempt to finish it later.

Fuzzy bunny horror book! Don't let his sophisticated looks and manners fool you. Runny is a dickhead.

I don't want to give away too much, but I know I'm not the first one to compare this with a cross over of Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland. Jonathan Edward Durham may well have been micro dosing when he came up with this winner.

A perfect bedtime horror story with a touch of fuzzy cuteness and fantastic characters. There was one unfavorable issue I had (story spoilers)

Spoiler

the ending was just too long. OMG. Die already. I wanted to find that cricket bat and punt Runny's ass. It's like everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, had to have their Oscar moment.

I’m on page 10. I can’t go on. It’s insufferable. The writing is so, so bad. I’m with the other readers who are disappointed, because in the right hands this could have been a great story.

Fun little read. I love an illustrated book as an adult. Just read it for yourself. This my first read of this author but I’ll be reading again. Here are the quotes I liked “ they were all rats to him…and all the world a maze.” “An endless mural of bones. It was a breathtaking effort that covered every inch of the carven’s walls from floor to ceiling– a striking in seamless image that was equal parts beautiful and morbid and spoke to a lifetime’s effort.”
“…the haggard war cry of a broken bear split the air like the fiercest of the fox’s arrows.”
