Review Summaries

"Fungus the Bogeyman takes us on a whirlwind tour of the dank, happily depressive and strangely philosophical world of the Bogeymen, revealing fascinatingly detailed insights into the life, thoughts and habits of your average bogeyman, bogeywoman and bogeychild. Woven into all this info is a day in the life of Fungus and his struggle with understanding the meaning and reasons of the way of the Bogey."
