Synopsis

From inside the book's front flap: "This book may well prove to be its author's most unpleasant ever." This tells the tale of a psycopathic couple whose "life's work" is to murder children. Gorey's Victorian Gothic satires are generally humorous, yet this one is exceedingly creepy and malevolent.
