Grisly Tales from Tumblewater - Softcover
A stylishly sick new voice in children's Gothic horror features richly descriptive, blackly funny, gasp-out-loud story-within-a-storytelling, perfect for fans of The Graveyard Book
Warning: Not for the faint-hearted! Welcome to the shadowy district of Tumblewater, eternally rain-drenched, and home to a creepy collection of depraved characters, as newcomer Daniel Dorey is quick to discover. He is soon drawn into the town's hungry fascination with sinister storytelling: there's the one about the young boy who is punished most appallingly for picking his nose, another about two devilish bakers and their murderous pies, and then there are the rumors about the villainous Caspian Prye. Before he can help it, Daniel is thrown into the middle of a scary story himself—and he knows it's likely to have a sticky ending.

About the Author:
Bruno Vincent is the coauthor of Do Ants Have Assholes? This is his first book for children.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 7 Up—Fifteen-year-old orphan Daniel Dory has been sent out into the world to make his way. He arrives in Tumblewater, the city where it never stops raining, for surgical training. Not long after, he is waist deep in trouble and on the run from the evil Caspian Prye. Mr. Prye, owner of the whole town, is so evil he is said to not even look human. Daniel is rescued by Uncle, who takes him into the underground where he meets the good people of Tumblewater and hears their stories. Each resident has a horrid tale to tell to help pass the time and also to make their own lives seem a little less ghastly. Chapters alternate between the macabre tales and Daniel's own story as he meanders through the town. Daniel is affable, Tumblewater is unique enough to grab the attention of more resistant readers, and the tales are outlandish. They are, however, very grisly. A darkly comical mystery which is sure to be a hit. Recommended for fans of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" (HarperCollins).—Terry Ann Lawler, Burton Barr Library, Phoenix, AZ
