Something Wickedly Weird — (2007-2010) Ages 9-12. Publisher: PIRATES…WEREWOLVES…LOST TREASURE AND A SPOOKY HOUSE. Something Wickedly Weird is most definitely here! Crampton Rock seems like a lovely seaside town… at least until dark. When eleven-year-old Stanley Buggles inherits a house from a mysterious uncle he didn’t know he had, he also inherits a mystery and some strange and sinister new neighbors. The questions begin to pile up: Why are all the dogs in town three-legged? Why is no one on the streets after dark? Is it true that the man who runs the candy shop is a werewolf? And why do those shoemakers look an awful lot like pirates? With the help of Mrs. Carelli, a housekeeper, and a talking stuffed fish, Stanley begins to unravel the mysteries that haunt his great-uncle’s death and have set their sights on him. A thrilling, spooky, and funny read, and the first installment of a kid-pleasing new series.

Stand-Alones and Collections:

Dust 'n' Bones — (2006) Publisher: Are you feeling brave? This is not just one screamingly scary story but 10 totally terrifying tales. Each story is a few pages long - perfect for getting REALLY frightened before bedtime or ideal for reading at a Halloween party and becoming perfectly petrified. There's the story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (which will curl your toes up) or By The Fireside (which will make your hair stand on end) or A Bedtime Tale (which will make you shiver in your slippers). There's a good mix of old ghostly stories re-told and brand new spooky tales. These aren't tales for the faint-hearted. But they are brilliantly written and illustrated with cool and colourful drawings.

Fangs 'n' Fire — (2009) Publisher: Following on from the hugely successful Dust 'n' Bones, this special gift book contains many traditional dragon myths and legends as well as some new and original tales. Stories include: George and the Dragon (traditional), The Dragon's Teeth (Greek myth), The Eyeless Dragons (Chinese myth), The Dragon Swarms (Edith Nesbit) and many more.

Pip and the Wood Witch Curse — (2011) Publisher: The great walled city of Hangman's Hollow is at war with the forest outside. Into this war, one dreadful winter's night, fate delivers a skinny, helpless boy. But maybe Pip isn't as helpless as he seems. Maybe he is the one who will defeat the wood witches and rescue the children of Hangman's Hollow...
