Illustrated by
Abigail Larson.
The father-and-sons team melds humor and horror in these grisly rewrites of familiar nursery rhymes ("Zombie rotten, quite forgotten, / How does your graveyard fare?"). The angular Sandman-esque digital illustrations effectively employ disturbing details and appropriately Halloweeny hues, while the text is clever and well metered, if not particularly involved. Elementary horror fans not ready for R. L. Stine will enjoy being in on the gruesome joke.
