Summary: fun read!
Review: This is the first book I read of Gutteridge's and loved it. I also just read Boo Who, the sequel, and both books are full of charm and endearing quirkiness.

Summary: 4 1/2 Stars...Scary? No, Just a Whole Lotta Fun!
Review: This novel's cover and title nabbed my attention, but the first chapter hooked me for good. I was laughing out loud within the first few pages, and then--horror of horrors--forced my wife to listen to some of these scenes. She bore with me. Even giggled. Laughed out loud, as well.I sped on, enjoying the tale of Wolfe Boone, "Boo," a newly converted horror writer, who throws his town of Skary, Indiana into an uproar when his faith threatens to derail his writing career. This town has built its tourism upon his career. What ever will they do? Even more engaging: what will Ainsley Parker do? She is the one waitress at the local Haunted Mansion restaurant who resents Boone's presence and refuses to serve him. Until she has no other choice. And discovers he's not all she's made him out to be. In fact, he's somewhat...handsome! The story is quaint, romantic, and often hilarious. The lengths gone to by these townfolk to backslide their pet writer and revive the community are amusing. Along the way, you discover the mystery of the town's many black cats, the taste of Mad Cow Meatloaf, the vision to see past other's reputations, and the sound of your own laughter. Have fun!
