These Children Who Come at You with Knives

These Children Who Come at You with Knives by Jim Knipfel 232 pp.

I found this displayed on the new fiction shelf and thought it looked interesting. Then I saw Patrick had made it one of his 'staff picks' for October. I've never read anything by this author before but now I will probably check out some of his other stuff. This book is a quirky collection of usually disturbing short stories. The subjects range from evil gnomes to scary house plants to sombrero-wearing talking maggots but the one that squicked me the most was about a roach infestation. Odd and creepy but fun in a sick sort of way.
