Of the 4 Pop Ink - Mike Nelson collaborations I've read, this one is the 2nd-to-worst. Mike's humor is there, and the art is ok, but not really the same quality as the others, and it just seemed off-target from what I was expecting. Only the first couple pages are anything to do with taking swipes at Goth culture, and the rest are just Halloween clip art and horror comic book illustrations. It is a good book for getting into the Halloween mood, but it just seemed a bit too blah, especially compared to Happy Kitty Bunny Pony. I still recommend it for Halloween art fans and Mike Nelson groupies, but I don't think anyone else would get much from it.
