Bedtime Bedlam: A Mario Children's Book photo
Want your blog on our home page? Answer this!

[goodgamer77 brings us his awesome illustrated version of a Mario story. He says it's a children's book, but I've never seen a kid's book with this much blood... -- JRo]

As a father of spastic two-year old son, I am saddened by the state of children's books available. The only passable books I found at Barnes and Noble were books that were made shortly after The Great War. While I appreciate a classic Cat in the Hat or Winnie the Pooh tale, I wanted to weave a yarn more relevant to our times. The project began to stray a bit, but it ends with a good moral. If it is hard to read, go through the gallery at the bottom, it is a little bigger there.

Without further boring text, hit the jump to see my new children's book. Enjoy.

That was awesome. Everything is better with zombies, even Mario.

The writing kept me interested but the art I did not like.

"As a father of spastic two-year old son"

You may want to rethink your wording there.

@SF Legend: Yea, sorry about the typos. My friend and I were submitting it for a local fan fiction contest and we got it in minutes before the midnight deadline. My brain (and ability to type) is fried from the crunch.

Thank you guys for all the kind words.

The Ashley Davis knows where you live! >:(

That said, nice read and easily one of the more disturbing Mario-related things out there.

A Zombie Troopa walks past a Dry Bones.
"Oh yeah, sure they said that undead wasn't in a few years ago, but who stuck to his guns? And now they have these rejects walking about! They're not even good fakes! Look at that, flesh! Flesh! These newbies are getting it all wrong!"

Poor Dry Bones. :( /random

Great stuff! One nitpick, though:

How the hell can you bite through a Bullet Bill?

wonderful idea, maybe a little clunky in the prose but I doubt I'll ever forget this.
