Very Lovecrafian in an understated sort of a way.
If Dr Seuss was a psychopath then this would be the sort of book he would write. It's about a young girl no following the rules and talking to strangers, she gets abducted as you'd expect. The ending of the book is very sudden and quite unexpected. Each page is illustrated, nice a colourful and full of the sort of images Tim Burton would create.
Creepy book that was fun to read.
