MachoPoni must rescue his girlfriend, Dust, from the Land of the Undead Ponies. Unfortunately, to do so, he must become one of the undead, himself. Along the way, he encounters a pony with a mohawk, the Chill-Aid Man (who's filled with blood), and the CuddleBears, (who have porcupine quills and like to give deadly hugs). (The illustrations are included inside the book.) This first volume of the dementedly funny 80's nostalgia series, The Poniworld Chronicles, introduces us to MachoPoni. He's a purple pony who tries to act tough, but has a heart of gold. And his heart has a soft spot for a female pony named Dust. He's loved her ever since they were children, though many would call him a fool for doing so. Because most ponies would call Dust cruel and manipulative. But the part of her that MachoPoni fell in love with, is a part deep inside that she doesn't show to others. These books are darkly humorous, twisted parodies that maybe children shouldn't be allowed to read. They're truly "children's books for adults and teens," delivered with a twisted sense of humor.
