review 1: I liked every story presented in "The Amazing Screw-on Head and Other Curious Objects". It was a unique collection of stories. "The Amazing Screw-on Head" short story had just the right type of humor to it, and I loved how Mike Mignola illustrated his daughter's story "The Magician and the Snake". One thing I like about reading anything Mike Mignola writes: anything can happen... the impossible is made possible.
review 2: The title story is the prize of this collection, fully realizing the witty stream-of-consciousness romp through an alternate steam punk account of history.
