Warburton’s third book is a charm
Mc DONOUGH – The new Calvary Community Center and McDonough Library hosted a presentation Oct. 17 of author Dustin Warburton and two illustrators, Jon Ed Bonfed and Ryan Paul Warner. Like the Three Musketeers, Dustin, Jon Ed and Ryan all grew up together at Genegantslet Lake in McDonough. Warburton, now visiting from Vermont, introduced the audience to, “My Brother Eats Spiders,” the most recent publication he and Bonfed produced.
“My Brother Eats Spiders” is a children’s book; quite a departure for Warburton. Dustin is the author of two other books, “Taste” and “Strange Things” both adult tales of terror! He was at home working on a sequel to “Taste,” along with his two sons ages six and two. Owen and Mason were bickering as kids often do, and it was distracting. Instead of it being a bad thing though, they got their father’s attention and the spider story just developed from there.
The children’s story is written from the perspective of Owen and the crazy antics of his younger brother Mason. The characters aren’t really Dustin’s boys, they were only the inspiration; which is a good thing because this is a tale of a little boy who likes to eat spiders! His older brother explains that he doesn’t know how or why he got started … he just does it. Youngsters are sure to enjoy the silly concept of a child who does something just for fun, without rhyme or reason, even if it’s considered “gross!”
The illustrations are the other attraction of this book. John Edward Bonaventure Federowicz, aka Bonfed, based his artwork on Dustin’s boys. Jumping off from there he obviously had fun, and it shows. There are spiders with boxing gloves, spiders drooling, and many subtle references to real items that relate to Bonfed. The children at the McDonough Library were delighted with this charismatic artist that made them laugh, and he created caricatures of all of them during the presentation.
The third guest, Ryan Warner, was the quietest of the three men. Ryan had created a beautiful, large portrait in colored pencil of Mason which was on display there. He is another friend of Dustin’s and an obvious talent that has joined the group for future endeavors.
“My Brother Eats Spiders,” retailing for $15, is published by Bare Bones Publishing, Warburton and illustrator/partner Nate Gorman’s publishing company.
