I have a couple of those . . . still . . . I hope. I have so many books around here I can't even find many I fully recall buying and seeing around. And I know I bought at least one of those. Very very VERY funny. My kid still says 'please don't [verb] the [his name]' now and then in honour of Sally.
Very funny but kind of chilling. I don't mean in the same sense as her fiction, which I've never got into as I just don't understand fear as a recreational activity 
. Is it just that I know what happened to her, or is there something just slightly . . . off about at least two of those kids?
