Publisher Comments:

Edward Gorey meets The Bunny Suicides in a murderously funny tale from the creator of I‛s Happy Bunny

From the creator of the hugely successful I‛s Happy Bunny franchise comes a little piece of work named Cherise, who may be, it turns out, a not-so-nice niece. In the tradition of Edward Gore‛s The Gashlycrumb Tinies, Jim Bento‛s first adult picture book, with hilarious rhymes and illustrations, is a darkly comic masterpiece of the macabre.

“She was orphaned quite young In a mysterious way, Her parents just up and vanished one day”

The bloody footprints leading out of Cheris‛s bedroom are the first clue that perhaps the little darling with the bow in her hair is not an angel. As Cherise is shuttled from one aun‛s home to another, her aunts vanish, meeting inventive and hysterical ends. With a killer punch line on its final page, Jim Bento‛s Cherise the Niece will leave readers laughing.

About the Author

Jim Benton is a writer and artist who might draw a happy bunny one moment and write poems about a scary little niece the next. I‛s probably best not to ask why. His characters, including I‛s Happy Bunny, Franny K. Stein, and the New York Times bestseller Dear Dumb Diary, are licensed worldwide and appear in books and calendars, and on T-shirts, stickers, magnets, and more.
