Although this wasn't exactly what I was expecting, I truly enjoyed it. Filled with dark, yet stunning 70s/80s-style illustrations that often had me laughing out loud. I would love to display some of the prints on my wall, especially around Halloween.

Rhodes nails the tone and wit this book, My Little Occult Book Club, in every way I hoped. The charm of this book does not wear off despite being a parody of children's books that explore topics we all know and remember from the Book Sale days. Rather than amusement for a few pages followed by stagnant goofs and gags, this book is quite well done from start to finish. I think the humor is wonderful and really does a wonderful job being funny without too reliant on easy gimicks. Titles like "Let's Sacrifice Toby" made me laugh out loud, and I loved the illustrations. Well worth a read if the title and cover interest you!

If you are a fan of Goosebumps or the parody memes that are perennially popular on Reddit and Tumblr then this book is made for you. It's an art book posing as a facsimile of Scholastic Book Club. The twist here is that every book and product offered as a horror/occult bent. It's cute more than disturbing, the kind of things you see on Hot Topic graphic tees. I personally go for darker humor than this (see Scarfolk) but this is would be a fun artifact to have out on a coffee table to spark conversation.

I loved this book and the art work. I laughed out loud at some of the books in this. I am going to have to get a physical copy of this.

4.5/5

Steven Rhodes' My Little Occult Book Club is a delightfully original collection of fake book covers, advertisements and children's activities. The picture book parodies vintage children's books and magazines with a dark and hilarious twist through such titles as "Sell Your Soul! Economics for Children" and "My First Zombie Apocalypse".

The design of the book was phenomenal and well thought out. However, despite the book being a picture book, My Little Occult Book Club overall relies a bit too much on the illustrations alone. I felt like the book lacked some of Rhodes' witty and satirical writing that provided more "context" on the pictures, making the reading experience more hilarious.

Despite that, My Little Occult Book Club is an overall great coffee table book for those who seek nostalgia, or just simply appreciate brilliant and witty artwork.

This art book is a collection of laugh-out-loud funny prints by Steven Rhodes. It would make a great gift for anyone with a quirky sense of humour.

Hilarious collection of retro-style, parody depictions of children happily participating in occult activities.

Although this book has escaped my expectations a little, it is a fun book, with an atmosphere / graphic style reminiscent of the 80s.

Several times I found myself laughing and wishing I had the book in hand to forograph and show it to friends.

The book has a children's proposal, with activities and games, but it offers a parody of that, full of ironic and very funny jokes!

Oh my god this book was just so much fun and would make for a great book to leave laying around when guest come over. Lol.

This is mainly a graphic book that features the different shirt designs that I have seen around and there are a few that I had never seen before but I need immediately!

The art is fun, funny, really colorful, and just all around eye-catching.

Such a fun little book. I absolutely love the graphics in My Little Occult Book Club, I want to frame them and cover my walls! Lots of silly activities and spooky puns for all ages.

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. I'd seen a few examples of the artist's work around on t-shirts and it was good to see some more that I hadn't come across before. It's a cute, funny book that would make a good gift for someone with a bit of a dark sense of humour. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

I love these illustrations, specifically "Easy Bake Coven" and the "mommy can I keep it?" drawings. Very humorous parody of a Schoolastic book fair catalog. If I had a print copy of this book, I would definitely cut out all of the pages and use them as posters.

This book took me back to my roots as an EC Comics reader. The combination of comic book images and dark humor was funny and, at times, a strange kind of entertaining. Very creative!

As someone who loved poring over the Scholastic book order flyers, this kitschy collection of parodied 70s children’s book covers was so much fun. I’ve seen Steven Rhodes’ art around on the internet, and I only wish that there were some more book descriptions to accompany the cover art because they made me laugh out loud.

This was a fun collection of art work and activites based around Steven Rhodes' famous designs. I really enjoyed this as it was a great pastiche of the original style but it gave it a fun and new twist. I found this a quick and highly enjoyable read!

Fun but disposable. I would maybe give this as a gift for someone who is into old school kids books or satanism.

This was a fun read for everyone that loves a bit of retro nostalgia and is a horror fan like myself. Funny, well-written and with fun, retro drawings. I loved this book from the beginning till the end and wouldn't mind reading this when I'm in the mood for a bit of horror and laughter. The style of the art from Steven Rhodes is so much fun and goes so well with this sort of book genre. This is a great coffee table book to show off to friends and family for a bit of macabre laughter. Who doesn't love some good, dark humor.

This was a hilarious satire book. An easy read with some funny captions and great illustrations. Would recommend to teenagers and pre teens!

I have been a fan of Steven Rhodes for a while. His unique brand of creeptastic dark humor nostalgia is ridiculously charming. The concept of creating a book of his images under the premise of an old school mail order catalog is an ingenious update to an art book. I only wish I could order the whole imaginary catalog.

I immediately preordered this the second I finished it.

The pictures are amazing and the book is downright hilarious. An homage and throwback to vintage paper ordering of books, this takes a sinister turn with the fake occult products.

I will even hock his posters and tshirts because what is in the book you can find on those products.

An absolute definite for anyone who likes a fun conversation book or just collects weird stuff... I fall into both categories.

I am hoping for more of these!!

An enthusiastic 5/5 stars.
