A raucous book filled with demented and horrible children who get their just desserts. Luscious writing spiced up with injections of carbolic humour. Getting a haircut? Eating spaghetti? Having a birthday party? You may think these all sound like very ordinary things to do. But read on and see how grizzly these children can really be. Join in and relish the deserving victims' ghastly fates. Prepare to laugh, gasp and squirm as you read these cautionary tales! Includes The Spaghetti Man, Glued To The Telly and The Barber of Civil. Grizzly Tales For Gruesome Kids is a series of modern morality tales for children. In each story a horrid, sadistic, brute of a child meets his or her deservedly grotesque end. Rude tongues are sliced out, couch potatoes are baked into cheese and onion crisps, precious fashion victims are sent to school naked, noisy chatterboxes have their lips stitched up like ventriloquists' dummies, litter bugs are chomped by cockroaches, and a clumsy girl is turned into a fragile pot by the People Potter. "e;Be warned - Jamie Rix's splendidly nasty short stories can be genuinely scary, but as the protaganists are obnoxious brats with names like Peregrine and Tristram, you may find yourself cheering as they meet their sticky ends."e; Independent on Sunday
