Perhaps he just wants someone to listen to his story. Excerpt A man in a suit as black as the night, came out of my closet and turned on the light. He sat in my chair beside my bookcase. Silent he watched me, a smile on his face.

Elegant and Clever as much in its Words as in the Illustrations
Sir Stan The Bogey Man is narrated through an elegant rhythmic structure that flows with great ease. The Illustrations are colorful and sophisticated. The narrative is nicely woven through the illustration. In a young children's book the visuals are as important as the words and this book achieves that masterfully.
The story is brilliant with great educational undertones on behavior and consequences. The characters have depth of emotion often not achieved in a short tale.
There is an old school elegance, a fun wit while exploring what all children fear and converting the Bogey Man into an endearing friend.
I would recommend this book to every parent of young kids. I can also imagine that this book will achieve great success. A thumbs up to both author and Illustrator. by M.C.V. Egan

Sir Stan the Bogeyman
Sir Stan the Bogeyman has many layers - remember Shrek? Stan goes from riches to rags and then to a different kind of rich. He learns that there are consequences for the wrong choices and inappropriate behaviors of a child, himself. Stan takes on the appearance of an old, crotchety scary dark man whom people fear and shun. The little girl feared, initially, but then decided to listen and open her heart, to show compassion. Rather than merely trying to 'judge a book by its cover', she opened the 'book' and found the story behind the rough, worn cover. In the end, she learned that one person can make a difference by not being afraid, by being "brave heart."
Thus, the many layers have been peeled away.
Your book could be so helpful and influential to children (and adults) and was a feast to my poetic and artistic palates. Thank you for sharing both of your arts. Good Luck and God's Speed :)
