Frankenkids

Just a short note to let you know that if you have any younger brothers or sisters and they like a fun, creepy little scare on the run-up to Halloween (and really, who doesn't?) then my suggestion is to check out Frankenkids, by Annie Graves.

Annie Graves may or may not have been helped out in the ideas department by a gent called David Maybury. The name sound familiar? I've developed a habit- especially in the short stories- of killing off the Maybury brothers in increasingly horrible ways, and the real-life David Maybury is now trying to get his own back. In Frankenkids, the poor boys who are the victims of the terrible Uncle Fraser are named Landy, and the older one is called Derek...

I'm not going to tell you what terrible fate befalls them. All I will say is that David Maybury better watch out. In the next short story, he's getting his head cut off.

Good evening Blogland!!! I only have time for one comment so I'm asking for your opinion on this. Enjoy!

Through fire and ice, both will slay
Many evils though break the day.
Two young mages, raise chaos to the sky,
But only one may live, so one must die.

Star Inkbright said...

I HATE HOMEWORK.

However, my English homework was quite nuce. Had to read through my teacher's markings, answering her questions and analysing when I'd hit targets. Y'know when you try as hard as you can on a task but you're not really sure you've done it right, and then your teacher gives it a big well done? I love those moments.

However, what ISN'T so nice is when you HAVE done it wrong . . . :P

Here, I can yell this:

YOURE MAKING ME WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR THE NEXT BOOK!?!?!?!?!?!?!? NOT FAIR. NO. I REFUSE!!!!

MUFFINS ARE AWESOME.

I eat them upside down. Same with *English term here* buns. I take them out of their muffincases/buncases, then eat the bottom bit first and the top bit last.

Ariana Shade said...

Snails are disgusting!

Star Inkbright said...

Snails are also awesome. Not to eat, though. To eat they're just okay. *has eaten snails before. Not joking*

I used to collect all the ones I could find in my grandma's garden and put them on the wall. Y'know, before she starting renting that house to people.

I was talking about to eat! YUCK!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hi Star - I kept complaining about the cold to my friend today. I get really cold. For instance, last night I wore 9 layers to bed and 3 duvets and I lay on my front to make me warmer and I was still cold.
Madness.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* I don't feel the cold as strongly as that! Feel it more than my friend though. She's Scottish, and once she told me and my other friend that it had been proved that Scottish people felt the cold less. We believed her, and it wasn't until a few years later that she admitted she had been making it up . . . :P

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Omg, it's probably true though, or if you live in a cold country, like Russia.
I was talking to my friend about it today. She just called me weird and told me normal people like her wear one layer and then one duvet this time of year.
I told her that's what I wear in heatwaves.

Star Inkbright said...

I'm still wearing one duvet. :)
