I picked up this book because I love anything cute, and the creepy was just the right touch. After flipping through the book I decided immediately that I had to buy it, so I could make my fiance a fleet of little cute and creepy figures for his desk at work. I would recommend this book to any crocheter, beginner's who love a challenge, or long time pro. Quite fun, and much different from what's out there for people who don't always to crochet something traditional...
Author take the craft seriously...big thumbs up from me!

My home is about 3/4 craft books and I've seen the good and the bad. What I absolutely adore about this book is that the author is extremely careful in describing how to make the finishing touches that make these pieces work so well. I figured the eyes (which are amazing) were something you purchased in some doll parts store but the instructions on how to make them are pretty engaging. Like other reviewers, I'd not recommend that you use this book to learn to crochet. What it does brilliantly is to take your crochet skills and help you do the finishing in a way to make the product extra special. The monkey is genius.

I was sold on this book because of the Cthulu. It's so freaking adorable! Along with everything else in this book. It's also nice that we get the basic shapes and that she encourages the reader to make their own little creatures.
