 The front if the book shows a sweet cover of a young girl, riding a stick horse, carrying her stuffed Teddy bear along as she runs merrily through the yard of her Martzipan castle. The title is written in classic fairytale font, and it seems just the book to buy your daughter, younger sibling, niece, younger cousin.... 
 Except for the circular golden stamp in the corner, Mr. Whiffle's head the emblem in the center, proudly proclaiming: THIS SHIT IS NOT FOR KIDS. SERIOUSLY. 
 The first third of the book is a captivating tale of a little girl and the Thing Under the Bed. Great for kids, sweet little ending. Perfect bedtime story. 
 The second third of the book has a disturbing, frightening ending. One to give children nightmares, one to bring a hand to one's mouth in horror. Perfect campfire horror story. 
 The last third of the book brings us back to a cute little tale. Until the ending, when you do a double take on page 64 and reread it several times to make sure you read it right- 
 Until you finally accept the truth, and shudder. 
 The rereading of the entire book is possibly the best part. You pay better attention to the pictures in the background, you study the smallest details... Understand some things written in the book that you might have discarded as not so important before... And you realize.... 
 This was never appropriate for children. Not for those who paid attention. 
 Not for those who want a bedtime story to lull them to sleep at night. 
 Truly brilliant. Beautifully illustrated. Masterfully written. The perfect bedtime story for those of sick humor, respect of the classic children's tails, and... of an appropriate age.
