Local news here in Yorkshire is that Graham Taylor, the author of "the most frightening children's book ever written", claims that he's having to keep the details of a nationwide school tour secret for fear of lobbying from Evangelical Christians after Christian Voice chairman Stephen Green was quoted as saying "Shame on any head teacher who invites GP Taylor into their school with this book", adding that, "To promote gore, bloodlust and thoughts of death as being healthy topics for the minds of innocent children is bizarre."
Doesn't sound to me like the "voice for Biblical values" has bothered to ever actually read the Old Testament part of the book he's supposedly basing those values on...

And I don't think that Mediawatch (another christian campaign group) thought about whats in the bible when they said that Taylor's book
