This was a lot of fun. A very short, quirky little book, written in an offbeat style. The book is written in the point of view of the Hook Man, the actual man behind the urban legend. He has decided it is time to tell his story and to stop doing what he does. Join Hook Man as he encounters other legends like the Kentucky Fried Rat lady, Bigfoot, The Ax Man, and the Vanishing Hitchhiker, all while spending time confessing to an obsessed professor and researcher hellbent on tracking down the sources to all urban legends.
The story has a bittersweet element in that it was published posthumously and was the only book of this author's published. He died of cancer at the age of 31. It would have been nice to see what else he could have dreamed up. I am glad this story was shared with the world, it was enjoyable!
