I came across this treasure at our local bookstore and absolutely adore it. It's a delightfully morbid journey through the alphabet accompanied by melancholy illustrations and funny one-line anecdotes about each character's demise. It's a staple coffee table book in my home, and gets picked up and flipped through often.
I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates the macabre with a touch of artistic humor. Or to anyone who likes freaking out their straight-laced mother-in-law when she comes to visit: "Of course I've been teaching your granddaughter her ABC's - here's the book we use!"
So many wonderful moments to be had by this gem.
