The Vanishing Vampire

A Monsterrific Tale

1997

What would you do if someone accidentally turned you into a vampire? At first it sounds pretty cool, right? But if you really think about it, being a creature of the night is not all it's cracked up to be: no sunlight, staying away from garlic, the craving for the "red suff." Gross, huh?That's exactly what Sebastian thinks. It all started the night he walked home from the movie. He just sort of blacked out and wham—he's a vampire. Now he only has one chance to "get human" again. And time is running out...

The Unwilling Witch

1997

There's something strange going on at Washington Irving Elementary School. Kids are turning into monsters―literally! Angie knows freaky things happen sometimes. After all, it wasn't so long ago that her younger brother, Sebastian, turned into a vampire. But she wasn't at all prepared to become an unwilling witch! Now Angie has to figure out how to pass the power along to the right person―before it lands in the hands of the wrong person…. With its blend of humor and horror, The Unwilling Witch will appeal to the same audience that has made David Lubar's Weenies short story collections such a success.

The Wavering Werewolf

Hair today...gone tomorrow??Okay. It happened to Splat. And to his sister, Angie. How many kids could get "monsterized" in one neighborhood? Well, at least one more apparently. It started with a walk in the woods—and ended up with an overly fuzzy kid who finds himself howling at the moon. There is a way for Norman to get back to his old self. But there are two problems: He kind of likes being a wolf; and there's only a few more days until the next full moon...

The Gloomy Ghost
