Vampire Planet

Ron Koertge wants to do nothing but delight. Armed with wit and brains, he introduces readers to Dr. Frankensteins frustrated fiancee and gives an alternate reading to the Bible story about Lots nameless wife. He rues the loss of a favorite pair of underpants, attends a bachelor party where Mr. Magoo makes an appearance, and suggests what cheerleaders will be like in the future. Bashful, one of the seven dwarfs, spills the beans about Snow White. Death comes home from a business trip to his favorite meal, and Epeiuswho designed the Trojan horseturns out to be a better architect than a warrior. Saint George muses about girls, and on her honeymoon Mrs. Mark Trail wishes her husband would take his eyes off that moose get down to business. In a sestina, Ron probes the psyches of the Hardy boys. A half dozen charming couplets tell about an experience at a local car wash, and a domestic reveals the secret life of clothes. Like Reverend Ike and John Lennon said, Whatever gets you through the nightthis book will do that and carry you right into the next day. Guaranteed.
