Whoooa, this book was dark. I was expecting some slightly spooky middle grade story (I think it was the length and paperback cover that led me to this conclusion), but The Love Curse of the Rumbaughs was full-on, Psycho-level freaky.
The titular love curse refers to loving one's mother to an obsessive degree. No incest here, but it's still pretty disturbing. Lots of creepy imagery involving taxidermy. Definitely good, and nothing overtly horror, just a spooky little fable about mother-love, taxidermy, eugenics, and twins. Maybe not one to read on Mother's Day, unless you're of a gothic bent.
