Book Review: The Morbid Alphabet Book by Gabrielle Ferrara

Rating: 3 Stars

As I delved into “The Morbid Alphabet Book” by Gabrielle Ferrara, I was immediately struck by the unique combination of the macabre with the educational. This fully illustrated book offers a morbid twist to learning the alphabet.

The book features a diverse range of morbid words, each paired with a corresponding definition, creating an intriguing learning experience. From A to Z, readers are taken on a journey through the darker side of language, expanding their vocabulary in a creative and engaging way.

One aspect that truly stood out to me was the illustrations that accompanied each page. The detailed artwork brought the morbid words to life, adding depth and visual appeal to the learning process.

While I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it to be suitably morbid and fascinating, I must admit that it may not be as appealing to younger children. This book is better suited for parents to read to their children, and/or more suitable for older readers who (unfortunately) probably outgrown traditional alphabet books.

That said, “The Morbid Alphabet Book” is a thought-provoking and visually captivating piece that offers a fresh take on alphabet books. It challenges traditional educational norms and invites readers to embrace the darker side of learning in a fun and engaging way. Whether you're a lover of the macabre or simply seeking a unique educational experience, this book is sure to leave a lasting impression.
