While there is definitely a catalog of criticisms running through my head as I look at this new book, I think I'll go so far as to say that this one is "pretty good." One of my favorite things about it is the illustration work by Michael Slack. Michael and I once collaborated on a game that Chronicle Books published called Ick! (very fun and a favorite in my house). He sort of specializes in gross, so I thought he'd be a perfect partner for a book full of gloriously icky recipes. Here are a few of his many awesome illos for Ghoulish Goodies.





If you're wondering what the red text is on the Ghoul-Ade photo, it's a note to our very patient, much-beleaguered prepress miracle worker Hartley, asking him to make the "fly" in the ice pop more. Fortunately, that note does NOT appear in the printed books!
Last but not least, a shout-out to the book's photography team, Kevin Kennefick and Sheri Riddell, for their tremendous skill and sense of humor . . . to food stylist Norma Miller for her awesome kitchen magic . . . and, of course, to the author, Sharon Bowers, for writing this book and giving us all the opportunity to have such fun!
