Vile by Keith Crawford actually is a really violent Frozen

Vile by Keith Crawford actually IS like a really violent Frozen and I can prove it with five minutes and an etch-a-sketch!
But if you don't have 5 minutes here's TEN things they both have:

1) Strong lead characters whose names begin El...
2) Snow, lots of snow
3) Family power plays
4) Ice, it's cold up north you know
5) Awesome Castles
6) Single word titles, which let's be frank is just plain cool.
7) Magic and mystical creatures
8) Big explosions!
9) Nuanced characters with ambiguous motivations that drive a compelling plot as they strive to do the right thing as they perceive it or at very least the right thing for them
10) A talking snowman.

Ok, so Vile doesn't have a talking snowman but it is really violent and very very good. It also doesn't have songs that are going to get stuck in your head what with being a book an' all!

Don't believe me? Get involved with the kickstarter, help it get published and then you can find out for yourself: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vile/vile

Whilst you wait for your copy of the book to arrive I suggest you listen to the author being very silly (trust me he writes better than he sings): https://twitter.com/keithcrawford77/status/1194885225597349888?s=20


I hope Disney don't read Vile (or this) because I hear they're crazy litigious.
