About Aickman: Tales of a Normal Childhood by Anthony D. Herrera
A group of outcasts and a town bent on destroying everyone.
Who knew you could feel so nostalgic for a town where men devour souls and the grass hungers for flesh? Aickman: Tales of a Normal Childhood is the darkly comic coming-of-age story of ten-year-old Weirdo and the terrible summer of 1993. The only thing the residents of the small town of Aickman hated more than the ghosts in their televisions and the mutants in the nearby woods were Weirdo and his four friends:
1. Darby: Punk Rock Angel
2. Jason Human: Paranoid Grey Alien
3. Eddie Gone: Aickman’s Lost Boy
4. The Anointed One: Lover of Prophecies and Candy
Together these outcasts brave the onslaught of supernatural forces that defy comprehension as well as the prejudices of their small-minded community. But as the summer goes on, it becomes clear to the five friends that even if every day of their lives is a scary story to tell in the dark, that’s still not the worst part about growing up.
