The photos in this book, real photos from ten collectors, are creepier and more interesting than the story itself. The story is fake, and with the exception of a few, which are enhanced in some way, the photos are genuine and very unsettling/odd. I don't know what I was expecting with this book but the story was built around some of the photos and for some reason fell short. I thought the world that the author created was interesting..and I'm glad I read it, but I felt like this was a really bad "goonies" like adventure with a bunch of kids after a while. The most interesting part was the peculiarities of the children, but other than that the story just couldn't hold up. This is this authors first book, and I like his style (since he is a photographer himself) of finding old photos that are unrelated and making a story out of it.
