These days books are being written for more and more niche audiences. For instance, Halloween Adult: Halloween Costumes Halloween Adult Costumes: Turning Scary To Sexy Traditions, Kids, Bedtime, Fiend Scare is for people who've awoken from a lifelong coma and have no idea what Halloween is but have to get to a Halloween party right this very second.

This book is so weird that I'm a little worried people will think I wrote and self-published it so I could later write about it here. While that would be a fantastic long con, I swear I'm way too lazy for it. This is real, and it's insane.

At this point, I'm pretty well-versed in crappy books, so I can normally follow the train of logic that led to creating a piece of garbage, but I'm at a loss on this one. My best guess is that a clickbait algorithm took an internal memo from a Chinese plastic teeth factory and translated it into English by prodding a brain grown on the back of a mouse.

The title is trying to take advantage of recommendation algorithms by throwing every possible Halloween search term on the book cover, but let me assure you it's mostly about which Halloween costumes make the author horny (it's all of them). Yet, this book with a sexy lady crying blood on the cover is #213 in Children's Halloween Books on the Amazon store!

I was expecting that it would have some pictures of sexy Halloween costumes that I could make fun of. I love a good sexy sandwich, sexy poop emoji, sexy hand sanitizer, etc. That's a sexy group costume idea that also tells a story. Instead, this book opts to describe Halloween and Halloween costumes just kind of in general to the reader. It begins by listing every basic costume and calling them all sexy.

Broccoli is sexy. Clouds are sexy. Big Bird is very tall, and of course, that is downright hot. It sounds like the introduction of a scientific paper confirming the discovery of the horniest person on Earth. It goes on to say that you can't just size up a children's Halloween costume to make it an adult costume. Which I think means if it isn't sexy, it isn't an adult costume. You've taken a child's costume and made it larger, you baby! Put that Bob Ross in hot pants. If you're not a leggy Bob Ross, you're a baby Bob Ross.

Ah yes, Halloween costumes-- famously known for their craftsmanship and not the fact that they smell like chemicals and will be torn to shreds by one trip through a regular washing machine. I only wear the finest hand-crafted skeleton with a giant penis costume to my Halloween soirees.

Another big tip that the author isn’t in America is they don't seem to know where Halloween costumes are sold. You can get a Halloween costume almost anywhere in September or October. At the grocery store, the pharmacy, an abandoned Pizza Hut that everyone in town says is haunted and is now a Spirit Halloween... but you know a place where you can't simply attend to find a Snow White costume? The government. Let the author explain:

I'm now concerned that this is coming from someone in North Korea. Can you imagine the red tape we would have to go through if the local government sold Halloween costumes? We'd have to listen to Fox News pundits complain that we're way over budget on sexy ranch dressing costumes! At the rate bureaucracy works, we'd all be dressing up as memes from 2015 this year. I mean, people are still going to do that, but it would be way sadder if Joe Biden was forcing them to do it. Seriously, though; can you believe this is an available costume in 2021? Fuck.

Halloween Adult then goes on to explain how Halloween can turn into "a horny night for you." Even though, as I said before, it kind of seems like every night is a horny night for whatever thirsty North Korean prisoner wrote this book.

Were you thinking of trying out a blatantly sexy Halloween costume? The book suggests sexy cowgirl, or belly dancer. However, if you want to be subtly sexy, it suggests you go as "the ghost of a woman haunted by the memory of the person she loves." You can achieve this look by wearing a white dress, clutching your chest, and searching for your lost love around the party. After all, what is sexier than a sad woman looking for her husband at a party? Everybody loves that!

I'm sorry to report that although the next section title makes it sound like the Princess Leia Halloween costume murdered JFK, no new information about the costume is revealed. This section is where the translation issues became more obvious because it repeatedly refers to the movie A New Hope as Star Wars: a replacement Hope. Which is somehow a much more menacing title. It makes you say, "What happened to the old Hope? Why was it replaced? Did it DIE!?"

Princess Leia's love interest in a replacement Hope is, of course, Hans Solo, which conjures up a pretty great image of Han Solo but in lederhosen, ready to kick some stormtrooper butt with his shapely and visible calves. To add an extra layer of insult to Hans, the author spelled Anakin Skywalker perfectly.

That doesn't count as instructions for making a costume. It's incomprehensible, for one thing, but also, you can't wrap a white sheet around yourself and tape a white pillow case to it and call that a Princess Leia costume. That's either a toga or if you're not careful with styling, Ku Klux Klan regalia.

Why is this entire book written like an epic poem? Did the author want to write the Beowulf of horny Halloween instruction manuals? I can only guess it's a formatting issue, but sometimes the cuts in dialogue seem intentional. I bet if William Shatner recorded this and we put some synth music behind it, the audiobook for Halloween Adult: Halloween Costumes Halloween Adult Costumes: Turning Scary To Sexy Traditions, Kids, Bedtime, Fiend Scare could win a Grammy.

It's sort of strange that Halloween Adult has issues with the English language because the very first thing in Malina Pronto's author bio is "MALINA PRONTO Nice To Meet You. I am Malina Pronto, From The United States Of America And Today."

A very normal way to introduce yourself is to name the entire country you're from and not the town or even the state. It's like saying I'm From The Planet Earth And This Time Quadrant! Immediately suspicious.

Malina is an extremely prolific author on several subjects, including the stock market, coding, and dieting. Halloween Adult is her only Halloween themed book. Still, if I were pumping out books on random topics desperately hoping something would hit, I would also write a book about Halloween because it's objectively an insane holiday. I offer a Jeff The Killer kid size costume and this five-star review of it as proof of this:

Any child who runs at me in this outfit on Halloween is in danger. I can’t help it. I have swift reflexes and am not ok with being murdered by a monster regardless of how short it is. In fact, a tiny murderer is somehow worse? I’m not going to both get murdered and suffer the indignity of being murdered by someone four feet tall. By Crom, I swear it.

Halloween is a holiday where we dress children as monsters for recreation. Then we pat ourselves on the back and say it's adorable! My five-year-old absolutely LOVES it! Hoping it will help him be more social with all of the ghouls in the large cemetery behind our house, five stars!

If you enjoyed my deep dive into Halloween Adult and have not heard of any other holidays, please check out Malina Pronto's other books that I am not making up, including Thanksgiving: What Is Thanksgiving Day: 3 Secrets To Gratitude And Happiness: A Thanksgiving Gratitude Exercise: Thanksgiving, and New Year To Easter 2022: What Happens On Easter Sunday: Five Fabulous Easter Gift Ideas, or my personal favorite: The Best Mardi Gras: A Successful Wedding - 5 Secrets You Need To Know: What Do You Need To Know About Long Distance Relationships: How To Become Skilled At Flirting And Romantic.

You know what they say! The best Mardi Gras is a successful wedding. Happy kids, bedtime, fiend, scare, everyone!

I still can't believe Jeff the Killer is a thing.

sissyneck

yes may i ask you for the fox news link to the sexy ranch dressing you mention when i search the site its just a story about salad frosting which: sign me up, but i am interested in the sexy variant too

SoylentRobot

this article is sexy, and downright hot

Tonypedia

Honestly, sounds like this book was written by an AI. I've played around with some APIs for fairly sophisticated content creation AI's and these are the sorts of 'sounds like natural language, but is actually incoherent' sentences they tend to spit out. The formatting looks like it was the product of a monkeys with typewriters sort of experiment.

Jeff Orasky

Maybe Leia's costume really is a very stylish Klan robe. It would sure explain her initial hostility to Chewbacca... "walking carpet" is SUPER offensive to Wookies.

Brendan McGinley

Malina Pronto's Thanksgiving book is going to decay into a defense of genocide REAL fast.

Joshua Graves

This article for "1-900-Hot-Dog: 900 Hot Dogs of Writing; Hot Humor Dog Writing for Jokes, Laughs, Article Humor - Sexy" is a very sexy and humor.

Pem

I often get a question: Marina, what's downright hot? Thank you for a request! With a lot of experience I can demand that clothes are the most important sexual factor. Nothing like. To grow. But there are also children's costumes! This mummy can be sexy, with a sheet or a shammy. Besides, this dress is really sexy. Check out my binding and see what other fascinating things I can. Marina Pronto Nice to meet you.

Christopher Horne

I’m all for government Halloween stores. Just so long as the world leaders have to model the costumes. Boris Johnson as Sexy Dracula / Sexy Wolfman, Joe Biden as Sexy Vampire Elder / Sexy Frankenstein (‘s monster) and Vlad Putin as Sexy Invisible Man / Sexy Vlad Putin (because when you’re a notorious despot, you don’t need a fucking costume to terrify me…)

The Parallel Viewmaster

"Greek and Roman God costumes are undoubtedly sexy, and therefore the everpopular 20's gangster costumes are very sexy" I know it's just a sentence written by a person who doesn't know what the word 'therefore' means*, but I would love to see the full chain of logic hinted at here. *For any readers who do not use English as their primary language, 'therefore' means 'a sexy horse costume'.

The Parallel Viewmaster

Have you compared the writing in this book to AIs trained off of monkeys on typewriters? That might be the key to solving the conundrum.

FancyShark

Speaking of sexy horses and old memes, the book doesn’t mention those creepy rubber horse masks, does it? The mentioning of the gangster outfits on top of that has me worried the book will try a ‘sexy Godfather scene’

Matthew Harris

From reading the title, I assumed this was going to be some sort of screed about how Halloween was being ruined by turning traditional scary Halloween into a sexy holiday, perhaps by aliens trying to brainwash children. I am kind of glad it was a curveball and was instead just word salad. But that makes me think...when will AIs start writing apocalyptic tracts?

Dean Costello

I think I had a logic stroke: "Greek and Roman God costumes are undoubtedly sexy, and therefore the everpopular 20s Gangster costumes are very sexy." What in the unholy fuck is this nonsense? This is the kind of phrase that Kirk would use as a coup d'état to vapor lock a super computer.

Most Powerful Alex

The reality is while the statement feels wrong it is still complicated enough that we would need some with a PHD in sexy math and logic to provide us with a definitive proof of sexy falacy.

Steven Clark

So, when are we getting "The Best Mardi Gras Is a Successful Wedding" t-shirts?

Flippant Sausage

"If you've got a tough girl"........I have questions. Tough how? Like tough like she can beat up rapscallions or tough as in difficult to chew? Also am I looking for a partner? A child? Or just a random woman who is kind of chewy? Should......I be asking a living Charleston Chew out on dates for Halloween? Is this a Chinese factory workers secret instructions on how to build a Real Doll out of horse hide and warm jello?

Benjamin Midkiff

I really appreciate how you didn't let your Conan education (Conanducation? Nailed it.) go to waste.

JimmyTheBlind

Hans Solo would be pretty fun TBH

Blake Bell

Well I have a tough girl so I better form a child version from an adult version and go from there.

petertron

Crom gives us the power to strive and slay, and this is EXPLICITLY for the purpose of defeating four-foot-tall murderers trying to get us with knives and whatnot.
