6/12/2023 0 Comments Ordinary Girls by Blair ThornburghReaders who have never thought of it before will agree: “Take care of your skull, because you only get one.” (Informational picture book. Still, any initial startlement should soon give way to a willingness to echo the author’s “ I love my skull!” A page of “Cool Skull Facts!” opposite a final, fairly anatomically correct image gives this good odds of becoming a STEM and storytime favorite. Assurances notwithstanding, they tend to undermine that last claim-at least at first. Campbell’s cartoon illustrations feature racially diverse humans, animals, or crowds whose heads switch back and forth between smiling flesh and X-ray views with the turn of a page. Even without noses (which are “more of a cartilage thing”), skulls also give faces a good shape and, despite what some people think, really aren’t trying to be scary. Thornburgh urges readers to appreciate their skulls, which are not only “safe and snug, like a car seat for your brain,” but come with convenient holes for seeing, hearing, and chowing down on grilled-cheese sandwiches. A celebration of that thing everyone has to hold eyes, nose, and teeth in place. Drawing on an impressively ecletic body of experience from a lifetime’s interests, Borski retools classics spanning from Frankenstein to Nightmare on Elm Street, the miracles and deficiencies of modern science and medicine as well as science fiction tropes into sleek, finely tuned monstrous engines of fascination. Death may be, in his words, “the ultimate expression of starless skies” … but Death’s skeletal manifestation also includes a plethora of funny bones, “waving more arms than are really there,” as amply demonstrated here. Carpe Noctem-”seize the night,” in modern mundane parlance-is the latest collection of speculative horror poetry from Robert Borski, the Blood Wallah of weird verse.
