Reviews

"Even though we are in the world of monsters and misfortune, there is a strong focus on friendship and charity. John Kenn Mortensen's sublime artwork give us an idea of what we're up against and show us that monsters come in many guises. He trusts children and their ability to embrace such a scary story, and perhaps his twisted worlds are not so far removed from the world we live in?" – (Litteratursiden)
