Even though this was intentionally formatted to look like a children's book, right down to the cover design copying "Little Golden Books." This "Little Boom Book" is definitely not for kids. The basic premise involves two children who discover Grandpa "sleeping" in his chair who then try various methods to wake him up. The attempts start off innocent enough--banging cymbals, pinching his cheeks--but then evolve into the truly kinky and bizarre. After Grandpa has been bounced on a trampoline, hung in a tree, dressed in fishnet stockings and Nazi hat, taken to a prostitute and more, the kids determine that Grandpa is, in fact, dead. This is a book for those perverse enough (like me) who find 101 Uses for a Dead Cat and The Book of Bunny Suicides funny.
