Father Gaetano's Puppet Catechism: A Novella (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

I found this book on a library display of Neil Gaiman-esque reads. I love Gaiman so I grabbed it. Here's why I love Gaiman - magical, imaginative stories with unfailingly human characters. There's beauty in everything and there's moments that cannot fail to touch your heart. Also (and here's what I always forget) there's a liberal sprinkling of moments that make your skin crawl. This novella had parts that made me tear up for the lost innocence of children. As the plot thickened, I was very glad I was reading it during the day. When the plot twists, avoid reading alone at night. This book is a fantastic read for any fans of Mignola or Golden. It is a good book for younger readers (young preteen/teen). A lot of the emphasis is on the orphans and the loss they've experienced as a result of the Allied forces pushing the Nazis off of the island. The characters in this book were well written and likable, and Mignola's illustrations are a welcome bonus to the contents of this book as well. I realized where the book was heading fairly early, but still enjoyed the ride it took me on. A fantastic fantasy book.

Great story. World War II - Sicily, in a small orphanage the puppet show is not all that it seems.

This is worth checking out if you're a fan of creepy stories, Mignola's work, or the supernatural.
