This book was given to me as a child, and while reading it definitely assumed it was a fantasy story with just some morals (and borderline child sacrifice!?). Turns out I was right! If you're okay with Parents nearly murdering their children, angry old men committing mass genocide (were they bad people? Even the babies?), a ghost killing a LOT of kids because their parents had the wrong imaginary friend, then this book is for you! There's magic! There's arson! There's a LOT of murder! Like.... a LOT of murder, the protagonist (?) loves to kill, loves to get people to kill other people in his name, kills babies and children just.... so much killing. Everything kids enjoy!
