Pros
Pro Uses old random photos to shape the story
The author collects old photos from garage and estate sales which he then used to help illustrate and form the story of the book. Most of the photos feature some odd looking character that is then integrated somehow in the story in an original way.
Cons
Con The story is lacking
The book gives the impression that it will tell an enthralling story supplemented with creepy images, but in turn it has creepy pictures and a messy, bland story tagging along.
