Dear possible reader of this book,
My editor asked me to write a third book in my series, "Tales from
the House of Bunnicula." And did I have trouble getting started I
was afraid I used up all my ideas. But faster than a writer can say
"What if?" I came up with a story It's about a lovable and smart
(not to mention cute) orphan wirehaired dachshund puppy named
Howie, who has a mysterious pain in his leg and is mysteriously
invited to attend the Dogwiz Academy for Canine Conjurers.
Together, Howie and his best friend, the very, very, very smart
Delilah, who speaks in a British accent in this book for some
reason, discover they must fight a sinister
foe...The-Evil-Force-Whose-Nam-C'not-Be-Spoke
Your friend,
Howie

all here in this logbook - just be sure to fill out your emergency

The dark night was strangely quiet. The moon had disappeared behind
the clouds, and there were absolutely no sounds. Not just quiet,
but total silence. Then the lonesome cry of a whippoorwill broke
the silence. Or was it really a whippoorwill!
A strange ghost-like figure appears during the night as the
twins and their cousin are camping in the Ozark Mountains above
Moore's Lake near Heber Springs, Arkansas. Akiela, the last of a
mysterious tribe of Native Americans, has come to warn the young
adventurers about evil men in the area of the lake. He seems to be
able to appear and disappear at will. He is very tall, and pale,
almost deathlike...his long white hair flowing to his narrow
shoulders. His eyes burn with agitation and displeasure at what is
happening to his beloved mountains.

is stripping Europe's most haunted city of its spirits. When

his own safety - and reclusive existence - if he is to find them.
Charlie reluctantly teams up with Sam Harrow - the new seer in town
- and a rag-tag group of ghosts, to save their friends from a fate
literally worse than death. But there is a dark purpose behind
these disappearances - more sinister than Charlie could ever have
