he Stumps of Flattop Hill, written and illustrated by Kenneth Kit Lamug, is a deliciously macabre children's picture book which will capture the imaginations of young readers.

Perhaps the most appealing aspect of Runoff is its familiar and personal quality. The story takes place in a town called Range, which Manning modeled after his hometown of Enumclaw, Washington. Although the events that occur in Range are almost too fantastic to fathom, the people and places seem so real that the story is wholly believable. The tale begins with a gruesome murder that has the Range police force worried that there is a true monster in their midst. No one is safe from the violent culprit because, although anyone can enter Range, it is impossible to get out. The town is plunged into mystery and chaos as the death toll rises, authority unravels, and a string of supernatural events terrifies even the most heroic citizens.

“When asked, if I wanted to write a review of a childrens book, I must admit, I was a bit skeptical. Usually I only write reviews of book written for adults. But Kenneth Kit Lamug managed to convinced me with arguments like: ¡ÈIt's only 40 pages long¡É, ¡ÈIt's a horror story for children¡É and ¡ÈYou will be able to read it in no time¡É.

A fairytale like no other, The Stumps of Flattop Hill is a lusciously penned cautionary tale, with mild horror elements, about a little girl Florence, who more strongly believed the children daring her by exploiting a perceived personal flaw, than believing them about any of the real dangers laying in wait in the House on Flattop Hill.

Ken Lamug's THE STUMPS OF FLATTOP HILL brings a long-overdue disturbance to the picture book arena. The cover alone promised me things that I was desperate for the story to keep.
And keep them, it did.
