More Description One Bloody Thing After Another is about a girl named Jackie. Jackie's mother, who died of cancer, is still around. Glowing in the dark, vomiting into the toilet, and nobody else can see her. This sort of thing can make a girl act out, and Jackie gets herself into some trouble. Some fun and sort of unhinged trouble, but it's trouble. And Jackie has a crush on a girl named Ann, though Ann has other things to worry about. Her own mother and sister have turned into violent creatures, and she has to keep them locked in the basement so they won't hurt anyone. They need to be fed living things. So Ann starts hunting neighbourhood pets. She is against this idea, but you know . . . family is important. One Bloody Thing After Another is a funny, strange, and sad horror book. This isn't a gorefest, though a plump baby or two wind up on the menu. This is about the horror of losing your family, and the things people will do to hold on.
