What they’re saying

“From the moment I saw the full cast of killers for Exquisite Corpses, I, like most discerning readers, knew Randy would be the winner of the first season's game. Now while I still can't say whether we've been proven correct or not, I can say the story Dylan and I have created for everyone's favorite furry fiend is as sweet and cuddly as a porcupine.”

“Bullies, homework, crushes, solving a string of brutal and bizarre murders perpetrated by a weirdo in a giant rabbit costume… Ah, to be young again.”
