What a delightful treat!

I'm from the Tales from the Crypt era and these delicious tales told by the Cake Creeper triggered my nostalgia! Who knew treats, both salty and sweet, could be so deadly?

If you want a scare, a laugh, and to be delighted all by the same book, look no further than this treat from Cuddles and Rage.

Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone book that I got from Quirk Books to review.

Story (4/5): This is a series of short stories done in graphic novel format. The stories are loosely connected, with intermissions between them to further tie everything together. This is done in a very “Taled of the Crypt” style but with baked goods and food as the focus. The whole thing is more campy and puny than creepy and had me laughing out loud a number of times. Both me and my 13 year old son enjoyed the complete silliness of the torment these baked goods go through!

Characters (4/5): I wouldn’t say that deep characterization is a strength of this book. However, I enjoyed the Cake Creeper and the birthday cupcake that he tells his creepy stories to. All the characters are fun and well done.

Setting (4/5): Each story is in a new setting. Most of the stories are set in a contemporary setting where food and baked goods are amphomorphic. The stories are told from a creepy old mansion. The settings were generally enjoyable but not the focus.

Writing/Drawing Style (5/5): I enjoyed the campy writing style and all the groan-worthy food puns throughout. The art style throughout it fantastic; all the sets were built and photographed...so this isn’t so much drawn as collaged. The whole thing is incredibly well put together though and really well done.

Summary (4/5): Overall me and my family really enjoyed this. It’s incredibly weird but also very darkly humorous. The book is put together beautifully and I loved the art in the panels. I would recommend it if you enjoy campy horror involving food...or if you just want something a bit weird and funny to sink your teeth into. I would recommend to kids pre-teen or older, younger kids who are more sensitive might find some of this creepy.

Satire legend and all-round comedy genius, William Donaldson, returns as Liz Read, a neurotic, tourette's-suffering television executive attempting to commission increasingly ludicrous programs.

This collection of real-life letters, sent by Read, is truly hilarious and paved the way for other comedic gems like 'The Timewaster Letters'.
