Extremely weird, sometimes aimless, yet entertaining read.

This is a little town where the Ice Cream Man resides to hand out, well, Ice cream to everyone. No, he's not a creepy pedo, which was my first guess when seeing the cover or reading about him. Instead, he almost haunts the town like the grim reaper. Going around doing the bye byes for most people in the town and showing them true horrors. This is four stories, all varying from really creepy and entertaining to just okay. The highlights being a story about a boy and his spider and the final story about a father letting go of his son who has passed.

Good: The darkness is always there. Even in the funnier or lighter moments you can feel the evil in the background. The terrible fate of most characters comes quick and sometimes shocking ways. The first and last story really show this well. The Ice Cream man is also very creepy, even with his big fucking smile.

Bad: The middle of the book suffers from being "okay". Not bad stories by any means but never anything all that enthralling. I also thought the third story was the worst.

Overall, a very interesting first volume. While not always great, it has great moments, and for that I want a second book. I'll hit this with a 3 out of 5.
