Creepella Von Cacklefur #2: Meet Me In Horrorwood

113 pages

English version published by Scholastic Inc. (2011)

There was a monster in the moat of Cacklefur Castle – named Gorgo – and he was considered family by the Cacklefurs. They fed him everyday and were concerned of his welfare.

One day, Gorgo suddenly refused to eat anything and was always belching out sorrowful sounds from the moat. The Cacklefurs immediately held a family meeting to discuss what had befallen Gorgo and ways to help him.

It turned out that Gorgo was actually lovesick: he was in love with a female monster named Blobbina! To make it worse, Blobbina was a movie star in Horrorwood, and Gorgo was a shy monster.

So Creepella decided to help Gorgo. She wrote a love letter for Blobbina on behalf of Gorgo. But alas! When she arrived at Horrorwood Studios to send the letter to Blobbina, she learnt that the she-monster had disappeared mysteriously! Blobbina had not even showed up on set where she was supposed to star in.

With the help from her friend Billy Squeakspeare and clues from the enigmatic monster expert Mr. M, Creepella managed to trace down Blobbina’s whereabouts to Nightmare Park, an abandoned theme park which had been closed down for some time.

Blobbina had been locked in a casket by a Doctor Inkubus, who had been the caretaker of Nightmare Park during its heydays. Doctor Inkubus had wished to reopen the theme park and bring it back to its former glory. So he kidnapped Blobbina and planned to force her to be the main attraction of the new park.

Creepella and Billy quickly released Blobbina from her prison and helped her escape Doctor Inkubus’ clutches. Blobbina was then brought to Cacklefur Castle, and the two love struck monsters were united - and were soon to marry. Gorgo and Blobbina were really meant for each other because they were the only known monsters of that kind in the world.

Fail Merah Oleh Fadima Mooneira 454 halaman Diterbitkan oleh Fadneira Imaginative Empire (2022) Fail Merah merupakan novel sulung yang dihasilkan penulis Fadima Mooneira yang sebelum ini pernah muncul dengan beberapa karya berbentuk cerpen yang diterbitkan dalam buku kolektif seperti Legasi Emak: Kari Ayam Cinta , Patah Tumbuh , Komplot Cerpen Penulis Paluan Seni dan lain-lain lagi. Pada aku, Fail Merah sedikit unik kerana gaya penulisannya berhasil membentuk sebuah novel ‘hibrid’ dengan penggabungan elemen novel indie hipster dengan novel cinta arus perdana. Sebahagian bab-bab awal novel ini menampilkan elemen-elemen yang biasa ditemukan dalam novel-novel indie hipster seperti penggunaan bahasa kasar serta kritikan terhadap isu-isu sosio-politik negara yang disampaikan secara berani dan unapologetic . Manakala bermula bab-bab pertengahan novel ini menyaksikan suntikan elemen-elemen kisah percintaan yang ‘ sweet-sweet ’ pula. Novel ini membawa kisah tragis yang menimpa keluarga Tuan

The Ravenels #3 – Devil In Spring By Lisa Kleypas 370 pages Published by Avon Books (2017) Although the first chapter mentioned the year 1876, I still had a nagging feeling that it was supposed to be 1877. Either that, or the timeline in Cold-Hearted Rake was supposed to start in year 1874 (not 1875 as stated). Because Pandora Ravenel’s love story did not began until Helen Winterborne gave birth to a son, over a year after her wedding. The Ravenels were now far more prosperous following the discovery of hematite ore on their estate lands in Hampshire. As a result, Devon Ravenel, the Earl of Trenear was now able to splurge some money for his two unmarried cousins, the twins Pandora and Cassandra, to prepare them for the London Season. Pandora was actually not interested in getting married – and she never bothered to be the well-behaved lady that men sought after when searching for a wife. She was unconventional and impulsive, with a feisty spirit and a restless mind. Furthermore, she w

The Count of Monte Cristo By Alexandre Dumas 224 pages This edition published by Scholar’s Publications Sdn. Bhd. (2005) I finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo in one sitting, within three hours. But don’t be awed, because I cheated, of course 😅. The copy that I read was an abridged version catered for school children (and yes, it had illustrations too)! It was in year 1815 and Edmond Dantes, the First Mate for the merchant ship Pharaon was about to be promoted as captain after the previous one passed away from an illness. Another crew member by the name Danglars was disappointed by the appointment because he himself badly wanted to be made Pharaon ’s captain. Meanwhile around the same time, Edmond had planned for a wedding to his long-time lover Mercedes, and this had gained the envy of another man by the name Fernand. Fernand was Mercedes’s cousin and he wanted to marry her, too, but she only loved him as a relative. Mercedes had warned Fernand not to harm Edmond in any way o
