Creepy Crayon! is a children's horror comedy picture book. I bought my copy new.
Review:
Jasper is bad at math and spelling, and only good at art. Then he finds a perfect and pointy purple crayon, and suddenly he's getting straight A's in everything! It's great. Until the crayon even tries to interfere with his artwork.
I loved the over-the-top ominousness of the grayscale artwork, in which the only color was the purple used for the crayon-created lines.
This was set up a lot like a horror movie, complete with the main character having a nightmare, waking up, and discovering that the crayon has made it real somehow.
Even as an adult, I thought this was fun and amusingly dramatic.
