This was the blindest of blind buys at SPACE this year, and I had no idea what to expect from it with that title, but I’m happy to report that it was a bizarre and unexpectedly dark extravaganza of madness. Addi describes it as “inspired by tigerbeat magazine and my love for surrealist horror,” and while I was expecting the first part of that sentence, the second was a welcome surprise. I should note here that it’s entirely possible that Addi described this all thoroughly at SPACE and I’m just blanking on it now because it’s a month later and, as has occasionally been established, my brain bad sometimes. This one is going to be tricky to review, so I’ll say right now that this is gorgeous/spooky/hilarious, and if that general combo sounds appealing to you, go in blind! The stock is low, according to the website, so you might not even have time to read this review. If you need more convincing, topics/stories in this one include suggestions for where to keep your teeth, a terrifying warning about pet rocks, one of the funnier set of fake zodiac signs that I’ve seen (believe me kids, I’ve seen people get this very wrong, which is not what happens here), some facts about Shadow Man, a good tip on a hot new trend, trying to pick a boy for the perfect date, and a page that tells you how to get out of an awkward situation, complete with encouragement. Oh, and Addi also manages to make an ad for spoons deeply disturbing, in case you were wondering if that was possible. It is! So yeah, it’s a nice mix of pieces, why not give it a try already? $15
