The Gnome King reviewed The Unmentionables by Lance Carbuncle
Review of 'The Unmentionables' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The only book I had read by the Dr. Reverend Lance Carbuncle was Grundish and Askew and I loved that, a violent, funny and bizarre story so I was really happy to see he had a new book. If you were ever bullied at school, then this book is a must read for you, the ultimate revenge book. If you were a bully at school, or thinking of a career in school bullying then read this as a warning.
Lance hits the nail on the head with the bizarre story, a magical house that alters itself depending on it's mood, zombie pigs, flying creatures grown in jars of wee and the Big Bopper, casually walking around town witnessing events as they unfold. I'm not really sure of why he is in the book other than being a witness, but he is cool and it was fun reading his little moments. …

There are a number of full page illustrations and they are fantastic, some very dark stuff.
One thing is missing for me, the humour. The book seems very serious and it needed a bit of humour to grab my attention more and become a 5star book.
A very interesting story, I recommend you give it a read.
