Friends play many kinds of games with each other: cops and robbers, checkers, tag. The best of friends will make up their own games.

Todd and Kevin’s friendship is built on such a game. However, the rules and premise are far from the typical childhood games. A dispute amongst the two splits them into very different directions: one sees the game for the cruel act that it is, while the other decides it must move to the next level.

Imagine No Country for Old Men crossed with Lord of the Flies, or even imagine if Johnny the Homicidal Maniac were once a little kid. There you have a Friendly Game.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

As passed down from Lord of the Flies, the kids-as-monsters tradition finds its edgiest balance at the intersection of gut-check honesty and immoral excess. This chiller has plenty of the latter, featuring a “game” between two friends that quickly escalates into savagery. Kevin starts it by killing mice for points, but it’s Todd who goes too far, trying to kill a dog and, when that fails, taking it to the next level: a schoolmate. Feeling complicit, Kevin enters Todd’s basement chamber of horrors—a place with plenty of animals in cages and an abundance of power tools—and helps clean up the murder. There is blood aplenty in this relentless black-and-white shocker, most disturbingly splattered across an ever-more-murderous Todd as he glowers through the stark, shadowy, patient panels. It’s impossible not to be moved by such menace, but Todd’s slide into psychosis is so swift that there is little time left to ponder anything. Moments of stillness, mostly between Kevin and his wheelchair-bound mother, provide vital respite. An angry, pitch-black debut. Grades 10-12. --Daniel Kraus

2.0 out of 5 stars Poory written ridiculous story
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
I really wanted to like this story but unfortunately it was ridiculous and mildly upsetting.

There weren't any like-able, believable or interesting characters. The story spirals out of control very quickly. Reading this story I was actually frustrated by how upsetting the main character was. The degree to which he was evil was convoluted. I love horror movies and would say that I enjoy stories with mean characters but this particular story lacked anything that would make it an interesting story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2010

A wonderfully dark graphic novel that explores what it means to be human. The fact that the main characters are children makes this story all the more chilling because most adults believe on some level all children are wide-eyed and innocent, this book takes that idea and turns it on its head.
