A bombardment of messages and darkly threatening phone calls from unknown numbers sees his resistance begin to crumble and his curiosity piqued. It's just a weekend, after all . . . what else could possibly go wrong?The Crazy Eight are back. From John van de Ruit, Spud: The Reunion is a riotous trip down memory lane ten years in the making. Featuring all the signature wit and "e;catastrophic nostalgia"e; of the original series, this is the hilarious, adult chapter Spud's fans have been waiting for.
