A Greusome Delight!

If you are a Meat Cake fan, then you will love this book. It has six original, "frightful" fairytales that are very much in line with the rest of Dame Darcy's work. If you are not familiar with Dame Darcy's work, but love traditional Grimm-like fairytales (a little disturbing, violent, and full of Gothic/Victorian charm) you will also enjoy this book. Aside from the wonderful stories, there is a generous amount of Dame Darcy's artwork. Almost every page has a black-and-white side-sketch or full illustration. Be warned though, these tales are not for the faint-of-heart - some greusome things do happen. The book is best read when you are alone in the house on a rainy day or up late-night by the fire.

Timeless and Twisted

Dame Darcy is the coolest illustrator and comic book artist working today, period. I'm so glad she's branching out into book-sized books. This one makes a great gift for your favorite goth gal.

This book makes me squiggle with delight !

This book is wonderful. Love, romance, lust, violence, horror, betrayl, mysticism, seduction, revenge, angst, twisted, wicked and jaw dropping. All of which describes the lovely Dame Darcy's illustration and writing style. If you are into all of the above with a victorian undertone you will love this book. She is like the young female version of Edward Gorey..... Bravo! I can't wait till she releases another one.
