Annette and Gina Cascone The Beast of Baskerville The Deadtime Stories by “Twisted Sisters” Annette and Gina Cascone—they’ll scare you silly

veryone in Baskerville knows about Jimmy Leeds. In fact, Adam Riley and his Efriends have been telling scary stories about Jimmy for years—stories they don’t really believe. After all, how can anyone believe in a half-human beast with horns and hooves? But the legend of Jimmy Leeds isn’t just a story. When all the kids in the neighbor- hood decide to have a giant camp-out, Adam and his friends learn much too late that the streets of Baskerville aren’t safe—especially after dark. One by one, Adam’s friends start disappearing into the night. At first, Adam thinks it’s some kind of joke— until he follows the hoofprints into the nearby woods, and finds himself face-to-face with the Beast of Baskerville….

Kendare Blake Anna Dressed in Blood H“Abundantly original, marvelously inventive and enormous fun, this can stand alongside the best horror fiction out there. We demand sequels.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

as Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. CSo did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen- witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay. When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home. And she, for whatever reason, spares Cas’s life.

t’s been months since the ghost of Anna Korlov opened a door to Hell in her Ibasement and disappeared into it, but ghosthunter Cas Lowood can’t move on. His friends remind him that Anna sacrificed herself so that Cas could live—not walk around half dead, pining for her. He knows they’re right, but in Cas’s eyes, no living girl he meets can compare to the dead girl he fell in love with. Now he’s seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he’s asleep, and sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong…. These aren’t just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears.

Bill Willingham Down the Mysterly River From the #1 New York Times bestselling creator of Fables: Bill Willingham’s first novel for children

ax “the Wolf” is a top notch Boy Scout, an expert at orienteering, and a Mmaster of being prepared. So it is a little odd that he suddenly finds himself, with no recollection of his immediate past, lost in an unfamiliar wood. Even odder still, he encounters a badger named Banderbrock, a black bear named Walden, and McTavish the Monster (who might be an old barn cat)—all of whom talk—and who are as clueless as Max. Before long, Max and his friends are on the run from a relentless group of hunters and their deadly hounds. Armed with powerful swords and known as the Blue Cutters, these hunters capture and change the very essence of their prey. For what purpose, Max can’t guess. But unless he can solve the mystery of the strange forested world he’s landed in, Max may find himself and his friends changed beyond recognition, lost in a lost world….

Fables has won fourteen Eisner awards, to date.

Praise for Down the Mysterly River H“Eisner-winning comics creator Willingham (the Fables series) makes his middle- grade debut with an action-packed and often touching novel...that explores the nature of characters and authorship…. The end result is a stellar example of a novel working both as an adventure tale and as metafiction.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Now Willingham is turning his attention to middle-grade readers with a tangentially themed fish-out-of-water tale that subtracts most of the pictures and is much more of a true fable…. [A]wonderful book.” —Los Angeles Times “Willingham’s Fables comics tapped into the deep fairy-tale structures in my psyche and never let go. Now, Down the Mysterly River finally delivers the same opportunity for younger readers. Lucky them!” —Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother
