Having fallen in love with Brom's latest novel Slewfoot, I decided to acquire all of his previous works and started with The Plucker.

First off I'm highly impressed, and astonished that Brom's debut novel was THIS good. With The Plucker, looks can be deceiving, what starts out as a light hearted toy story-like fairytale quickly turns into a dark, twisted dive into a world of voodoo spirits, devils and devil slayers. 

Need I say more?

This was like a demented Toy Story. A "demon" tries to take over a child's soul and the toys come to the rescue. It's a twisted fairy tale that definitely has some creepiness to it. If you're a fan of the darker side of fairy tales then this one is right up your alley.

Not as good as The Child Thief but still pretty good, and SUPER creepy.

A beautiful and dark book centered around toys! Think a horror version of Toy Story.

...eh. It was like reading a more simplistic version of The Child Thief. Brom likes what he likes, and reuses themes liberally. I finished it mostly because it was only 142 pages.
