| The Whispering Gorilla is a somewhat famous fantasy story,it and its sequel are collected in one volume that I haven't had money for,so I am grateful for this opportunity to read it.It does not disappoint,and I hope you get the sequel. I haven't read the others yet,no idea if they are good. As I read the Gorilla story, I could not help but see it as an old horror movie, John Carridine would have made the mad doctor,and Jerry Colona as Fuzziwig.Wish I had the money to turn this into a picture,it would be a hit. |
