Fat & Bones: And Other Stories

(3) YA Illustrated by Adam S. Doyle. Farmer Bald is dead, leaving his sadistic son Bones in charge. But chaos erupts when Bones's nemesis Fat, a fairy, sets out to murder him. Their escalating conflict spells trouble for everyone, from Mrs. Bald down to the mangy cat. These loosely interconnected short stories are, at times, both twistedly funny and grisly. Doyle's splattery black-and-white illustrations capture the grim tone.
