    I think Harris Burdick never brought the stories back because he was captured and never released. My 2 favorite pictures are Mr. Linden's Library and Just Dessert. I like Mr. Linden's Library because a plant is growing out of a book. I like Just Dessert because the pumpkin is glowing as the woman lowers the knife. Both seem spooky to me!!!!!!!!!

    I like this story because it is very different from any other stories. It i mysterious, creepy, and at some parts scary. To understand the book you must make up a story and use your imagination for each picture. I think that the author is clever because he writes a story that uses imagination. I like the one with the Woman with the lit up pumpkin. Why is it lit up? Maybe its magic, dark magic. Why does she want to cut it? Maybe it has a curse that will kill her or maybe it is alive? Who knows?

    I thought that the pictures told a very interesting story because some of them made you think about what really happened. It made me think what the ending was which was probbably what Harris Burdick wanted. My favorites were The 3rd floor bedroom, and the seven chairs. I liked them because they made me wonder about who could have caused such problems. I really loved the pictures because of the mystery behind them. I think Harris Burdick did very well.

    I thought Harris Burdick has cool pictures but he is crazy (insane). I like the picture with the nun on a chair flying to France. It intrusting about his picture is there is a flying chair you do not see that as much.

    I think that Harris Burdick was capture by an assassin and brought to a goverment agency because his pictures where of real thing that where top secret and that he need to be put in jail for ttying to tell the world about the wierd stuff that was going on. My farorite picture is the under the rug one because there could anything under the rug. It is interesting because what happened to Harris Burdick

    I think it's really freaky and sort of weird that Harris Burdick just disappeared and was never seen again by anyone. My favorite picture is The Harp because it reminds me of a magical and mysterious land land that consits of wonderful and delitful creatures.

    Harris Burdick really interests me because all of the pictures are different, and yet at the same time, they all seem to be a mystery. The picture that I liked most was the of the floating chair because I wonder if there was any, what was the inspiration for the picture. I wish I could find more about this man!
