Book Description
Chinese New Year is an incredibly misunderstood holiday. Legend has it that there is a demon that wakes every year seeking human flesh, and it can only be frightened away by bright red color and loud noises. Thus, the Chinese hang red paper on all their window and doors, and set off fire crackers each year. The legend is only partially true. The demon is real. But it seeks only Asian flesh. This time one is roaming China Town in New York City, looking for Chinese folk to kill and eat. And those that do not follow the New Year's traditions, the modern unbelievers of magic and monsters, are easy prey. It is up to Bai Nian Chen to prepare Gulinger Private Academy before it finds a way in. And if it does somehow get in, are the kids at Gulinger High up to the challenge?

Book Description
Almost no one goes to Gulinger High because he wants to. Most want to escape as soon as they arrive. But what happens when one does escape? Keenan Goodrich is about to find out. When he sees for himself the kind of freaky people that inhabit Gulinger Private Academy Keenan thinks facing the Mob is better than facing werewolves, half-elves, vampire bitten people, and the cursed. And he gets help from an unlikely source. Well... no. Actually, not unlikely at all. After all Tom Brown isn't called Trouble for nothing. All Keenan has to do is promise to pick up Chinese food 'on his way back.' Like Keenan plans on returning...

Book Description
Tom Brown is usually guilty. His nickname is Trouble. He steals his roommate's wallet and cell phone all the time. He often trashes the school office and floods the school bathrooms. And if there is a prank to be played, he will do it. So it is only natural for the half-imp to be identified as the culprit of any and every minor crime committed in a 30 mile radius. Yet when the police come around to claim Tom for burglary in the area near China Town where Gulinger Private Academy has relocated, Tom is adamant that he is not guilty. Can they believe him? Or is he doomed to be forever guilty?

Book Description
Most legends about vampires are wrong. They are not eternally beautiful. They are not super strong. And those bitten by vampires do not become vampires, no matter how many bites they make. A vampire bite is an eternal source of leaking blood. And Troy Meecham is one of the unfortunate bitten. Whenever a vampire is near, his wound opens up, beckoning to those blood suckers to take a sip--and there is nothing he can do about it. But his friends hatch a plan to stop this vampire from even getting close. After all, there's a lot the ghoulies from Gulinger High can do that a vampire can't.

Book Description
"The last of an ancient order of Jewish mystics capable of extraplanar travel, The Merkabah Rider roams the demon haunted American West of 1879 in search of the renegade teacher who betrayed his enclave. But as the trail grows fresher, shadows gather, and The Hour Of The Incursion draws near... Four novella episodes in one book. In a town hungry for blood, the Rider encounters a cult of Molech worshippers bent on human sacrifice('The Blood Libel'). A murderous, possessed gunman descends upon a mountain town, and only the Rider stands in his way ('Hell's Hired Gun'). A powerful ju ju man with powers rivalling the Rider's own holds a fledgling Mexican boomtown in his sway ('The Dust Devils'). Finally the Rider faces the Queen of Demons and a bordello full of antedelluvian succubi ('The Nightjar Women')."--Amazon.com.

Book Description
The perfect addition to every family’s home library and just right for sharing aloud, American Tall Tales introduces readers to America’s first folk heroes in nine wildly exaggerated and downright funny stories. Here are Paul Bunyan, that king-sized lumberjack who could fell “ten white pines with a single swing”; John Henry, with his mighty hammer; Mose, old New York’s biggest, bravest fireman; Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind, who could “outgrin, outsnort, outrun, outlift, outsneeze, outsleep, outlie any varmint”; and other uniquely American characters, together in one superb collection. In the tradition of the original nineteenth-century storytellers, Mary Pope Osborne compiles, edits, and adds her own two cents’ worth—and also supplies fascinating historical headnotes. Michael McCurdy’s robust colored wood engravings recall an earlier time, perfectly capturing all the vitality of the men and women who carved a new country out of the North American wilderness.
