This is a fun story collection with a great theme. Each writer details a story about a person from the past, in a "peculiar family," using only a name and an old photo as a starting point. So we get a fictional family history made up of murder, monsters, and madness. Something fun for everyone!

Nice old-time feel to many of the tales, whether told in journal entries, first person, or in other modes. Entertaining and different, and worth a read. Makes you feel better about those oddballs in your family.
