Description

A zombie family reunion, a "Jekyll lantern," a giggling undertaker, a telekinetic warlock . . . are you scared yet?

Sure to induce shrieks and giggles in equal measure, Calef Brown's poems present a wonderfully creepy cast of characters. Richly detailed paintings add to the frightful fun!

"Employing clever puns and unexpected end rhyme, Brown creates as engaging an aural experience as a visual one. . . . [E]mboldens young readers to find fun in things that go bump in the night."--Kirkus Reviews

"[W]ickedly humorous and gently eerie."--Publishers Weekly

"A highly recommended purchase for Brown fans and those who relish poems that go bump in the night."--School Library Journal

"[A]n imaginative exercise perfect for the Halloween season."--The Horn Book Magazine
