by Fred Van Lente ALSO AVAILABLE:

10 Dead Comedians is an homage to the most famous and best-selling mystery novel of all HORRORSTÖR time, Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None (originally published in 1939 as Ten Little Rights Sold: Simplified Chinese Indians). Even if you haven’t read it, you probably know the plot. Ten strangers are invited (Beijing Time), Traditional Chinese by a shadowy host to an isolated island. Once the guests arrive, each is accused of a terrible (Eurasian), Czech (Albatros), Estonian (Helios), Finnish (Helios), crime. Trapped on the island, they begin to share their secrets, and then to die off one by one. French (Milan et Demi), German As our variation on the story opens, we are introduced to a group of famous and not-so-famous (Droemer), Hungarian (Gabo), Korean (Moonhak Soochup), stand-up comedians who receive a mysterious text, an invitation to a private retreat on the Slovak (Albatros), European Span- private Caribbean island of Dustin Walker, a legendary comedian, movie star, practically a ish (Hidra), Swedish (Helios), Thai god-among-comics. You’ve seen similar characters before in Hollywood: the observational (abook), Turkish (Zodyak) comic, the insult comic, the late night show host. Little alliances begin to form, but why can’t anyone get cell reception, how do they get off the island… and who is behind the murders when people start dying in this hilarious parody?

The crowd was rowdy, the whiskey was cheap, and the patrons were constantly quarrelsome.

“Just like history class, only hilarious.” —Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever

Theodore “Teedie” Roosevelt was born into a wealthy family. He grew up in a beautiful brownstone mansion in New York City. One morning when he was about seven years old, Teedie’s mother sent him to the mar- ket to buy strawberries for breakfast.

And that’s when he saw it. There, stretched out on a plank of wood, was the most mysterious creature Teedie had ever seen—six feet long and weighing nearly three hundred pounds, it had a dusty spotted coat that glistened in the morning sun.

On his way up Broadway, the city’s main commercial thoroughfare, Teedie pushed his way past hawkers, peddlers, and mongers selling all kinds of fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables.

“ Fans of [R.L. Stine’s] Goosebumps and other lightly creepy fare will look forward to spending more time with [this] series.”—Publishers Weekly

In Professor Gargoyle, 11-year-old Robert and his new friends Glenn and Karina discover that the school library might be a portal to another world, one teeming with monsters, demons, ghosts, and other beasts that go squish in the night.

In The Slither Sisters, we follow Robert and his friends deeper into the world of Lovecraft Middle School—and its bizarre parallel dimen- sion, where they match wits with a pair of mysterious twin sisters who may not be what they seem . . .

Teacher’s Pest introduces us to student council president Howard Mer- gler. Don’t be fooled by his polite manners or perfect test scores—he’s really a horrible insectoid monster determined to destroy the school!

In our newest book, Substitute Creature, after a giant storm dumps over a meter of snow on the town, Robert and his friends find themselves trapped in Lovecraft Middle School. They have no choice but to spend the night sleeping in classrooms and facing off against a sinister substitute teacher.

The cards in this kit may look like an ordinary deck of playing cards. But looks can be de- MYSTERIO’S ENCYCLOPEDIA ceiving . . . OF MAGIC AND CONJURING

These are the tricks magicians and playing-card impresarios have used for centuries to confound and amaze audiences. Now you, too, can attain that power. Lift the lid, read the illustrated book, and explore the possibilities of The Amazing Magical Wonder Deck.

The magic box contains a 52-card “tapered” deck—indistinguishable from ordinary playing cards, but slightly tapered at the bottom—that allows magicians-in-training to keep track of cards removed from the deck and astonish friends by appearing to read their minds! The kit also contains a set of 16 “gimmicked” cards, including:

• An Eight of Clubs that makes a matchstick levitate! • A Jack of Spades that can be pierced with a pencil—without leaving a hole! • Four kings that mysteriously transform into four queens! • Two fours that mysteriously transform into blank cards! • Plus two-sided cards, disappearing cards, and more! MR. MYSTERIO was a world-famous magician during the early twentieth century. Upon his death in 1936, he left these secrets to be discovered by generations of future magicians.

The New York Times best seller is now a major motion picture starring Lily James and Sam Riley, with Matt Smith, Charles Dance, and Lena Heady.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.” So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a bold reimagining of Jane Aus- ten’s classic novel. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the bloodsoaked battlefield. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an audacious retelling of English literature’s most enduring novel.

MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN 978-1-59474-476-1 - $18.99 – 352 pp 2c hardcover

As the series opens, a horrific family tragedy sends sixteen year old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling remains of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that Miss Peregrine's children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow--impossible though it seems--they may still be alive.

The extraordinary journey continues as Jacob and his newfound friends journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world.

And before Jacob can deliver the peculiar children to safety, he must make an important decision about his love for Emma Bloom.
