  Casey does it again! Funny, gorey, and a lottle bit cringy. What more could you ask from, from a book about murderus bubbies. Let's not forget that just between you and me... aliens love pancakes. If you are a fan of 80s comedy horror and some terrible dad jokes, i would check this book out. I'll never look at bubbies the same again. Also they need to make dinosaur ones

  Damien Casey’s books always have me rolling. Casey created a Easter themed creature feature with all the 80s feels.
  I really appreciated the authors note. Damien manages the readers expectations with a honest note about the story. Readers are aware that they are about to embark on a fun easter journey rather than a serious horror story.
  Kevin has a depressing life, low paying job, no money. He is a real character and the dialogue throughout the book contributed to shaping Kevin. The reader can feel his he experiences. He just cannot get it right. He meets a girl, Leah, who has the most interesting conspiracy theories. Kevin takes a Leah out and gets ketchup all over his NEW white shirt. Geez. . . talk about a gut who cannot catch a break. I have been there lol. My white shirts are a stain magnet. Anywho back to Kevin... He was real and relatable.
  
  Casey turns up the heat with the bubbies and their weapons. They reminded me of the movie “Critters.” The story gets fun fast, There plenty of gore and twisted cuteness. This story is just under 100 pages, and I do not want to spoil it, “Night of the Bubbies’ is an entertaining story that can be read in one sitting. It is silly, outlandish, gory and will have you doublechecking the candy. I will never look at Peeps the same again. The perfect story to break up a monotonous day. 3.5 stars

  This is a dumb book. And I feel totally ok just laying that out therr because the author says it's a dumb book in the authors note before the book even starts. And a book can be dumb and be good. A book can be dumb and be entertaining. A book can be dumb and be a really fun read.
  
  Unfortunately...for me...this was a dumb book and it wasn't any of those other things. It was honestly quite painful and disappointing. The premise and the cover are solid gold...but the execution was severely lacking for me.
  
  The biggest crime of all with this book is that I was mostly bored. It's a book about killer Peeps come to life...it should NOT be boring. But I just didn't care at all about anyone and that meant nothing was working for me. I just didn't care.
  
  I forced myself to finish because it was really short. 2 stars for a great premise and cover but that's all this had going for it. I don't recommend...but...it's less than 70 pages so if you want to give it a go then by all means do so. It might be your perfect book. It just wasn't mine.

  I think I have a completely normal sense of humour, maybe a bit morbid, but generally, normal. I can laugh at myself, and I enjoy people falling over ( providing they are not injured) The one thing that makes me laugh without fail, and smile at the very same time, EVERY time, is Damien Casey's books. They all start off so randomly, with a wild scenario that would actually be terrifying should it happen, that it leaves the reader a little discombobulated ( I've always wanted to use that word) In a good way. It only ever takes a few pages until the unique outlandishness all feels perfectly normal. After all, you've stepped into a world only Damien could create. That's the joy with this authors books, they are like no one and nothing else. AND, they are so funny it's unreal. How can breaking a lamp be funny? It's because Damien wrote the scene and he sprinkles every word with magical pixie laughing dust ( Or so I suspect and imagine) The characters are still not a cliche though, they are people I would like in real life and also find funny. Every story by Damien has charm but this one ranks high up for me, as high as Village of Gill and I've read that one ten times plus. It's a wild adventure, pink and fluffy with teeth. Most of all, it's pure escapist fun.
  I would like a little peek into Damien's brain because I think it would be a wildly fantastic place, like the biggest acid trip of your life. Long may his writing continue because some day, people will yearn for unique and funny like this.
  Oh and, Jeet it? Yes I did.

  I LOVED THIS BOOK!
  
  I loved this book so much in fact that I hugged it when I was done. Only my most favorite reads get hugs, so that's kind of a big deal. This book was exactly everything I had hoped for and more. Equal parts horror and comedy in the very best way. I laughed out loud on several occasions- The author mentions in the Author's Note that this one is full of goofy, cringe worthy dad jokes and repetitive gags- I am exactly the intended audience and this book delivers.
  
  Don't let the adorable cover fool you- there is plenty of horror and just the right amount of gore in this one leading me to giggle or say "ew" out loud while reading, sometimes both. The mental imagery Casey's writing gives the reader is top tier entertaining. I mean come on... murderous marshallow animals complete with weapons?! Very campy, very silly, a very great time.
  
  I'd also like to mention that I quite genuinely loved the cast of characters Kevin was absolutely hilarious, Emilia is a bad ass and Levi is deplorable. You can just tell the author had fun writing this one from page one starting with the lamp and then the fourth wall breaking, trope call outs and the silly chapter headers? Titles? commentary?
  
  This was an absolute blast, and at under 100 pages a breeze to get through in one sitting- not that I could've put it down. READ IT.

  Night of the Bubbies is a quick, fun read. Bubbies basically involves Bubbies, marshmallow like creatures, that become animated, and different characters, who encounter them, leading to many a character demise. Creature Feature-ish, reminding me of some 80's films as well, Bubbies is tongue in cheek. The ending made me chuckle.

  If you're a fan of cheesey 80's horror movies, then you're going to love this. Damien brings the crazy like only he can then kicks it up. This is an over the top full on bonkers of a story. Filled with plenty of sugary sweet fun.

  Humor is subjective but I thought this was HILARIOUS and worked so well as a spoof and love letter to camp horror films and Appalachia. Will buy a physical copy when possible.
