George Romero’s Children’s Book ‘The Little World of Humongo Bongo’ Just Got First Ever U.S. Release

Loved this book. Zany fun. But since it’s George Romero, there’s a touch of evil behind it all!” ―R.L. Stine

Did you know that the late George A. Romero, master of horror, once upon a time wrote a monster story… for children?! Yes, Romero penned the children’s book The Little World of Humongo Bongo back in the ’90s, but it was only ever published in Belgium and in French. Finally, all these years, it’s been translated to English and given a U.S. release.

Via ChiZine Publications and Untold Horror, The Little World of Humongo Bongo is now available! In the book…

“When everything is easily crushable under well-meaning feet, how can a Humongo ever fit in in such a little world?”

“From the creator of Night of the Living Dead and the zombie movement that permeates our culture today, comes a sarcastic and cynical children’s tale of different creatures trying to coexist in a benign, yet power-hungry environment. In line with Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s Little Prince, The Little World of Humongo Bongo is a beautiful metaphor on the evolution of our civilization, depicted with humour and simplicity.

Featuring illustrations by Romero himself, welcome to a zany little world captured by the lens of one of the world’s visionary film creators.”
