One Dark and Dreadful Night by Randy Cecil

One Dark and Dreadful Night by Randy Cecil

This book is a witty story about a character named Maestro Von Haughty who is attempting to present three "dark and dreadful" tales. But the actors and actresses have another plan in mind. Just when the scary parts are supposed to happen; the stars of the show change the plot to what they want. I enjoyed the funny twist the author put on the traditional fairy tale aspect and the witty response the stars of the show had to the narrator. The reader did not know how the story or tale would end up. For example, just when the big bad wolf was supposed to eat one of the children, a fairy princess appears and has nothing to do with the original story. I thought it was fun to have the unexpected characters like that to give the story a humorous twist.
