Something is rotten in the state of Deadmark, but of course there
is: it's filled with zombies. This topical and hilarious parody of
Shakespeare's Hamlet follows a young science-minded zombie teenager
named Edda as she deals with a myriad of death-altering problems
including a climate crisis caused by the anti-science humans in
Ignorway, the disappearance of her mom, and the conniving takeover
of her country by her villainous Aunt Agonista.

The classic ABC book gets a darkly comic makeover with Monster ABC.
Kids with an appreciation for the offbeat and spooky will love this
thorough catalogue of ghouls. You know Sasquatch and the Loch Ness
Monster, but what about Quetzalcoatl, the feathered snake god, or
Xing Tian, whose face is on his belly and whose head is nowhere to
be seen? A wry description accompanies each cute illustration,
making this an indispensable bedtime book for both parents and
children who delight in the darker corners of the imagination.
2019 PubWest Book Design Award Winner Little Chupacabra is a picky
eater with a monstrous appetite for only one thing: goats. This is
a huge problem if you happen to be a goat. Set in gorgeous Puerto
Rico, this delicious tale of compromise features digestible Spanish
vocabulary, a menagerie of animal amigos, and one determined-and
hungry-Chupacabra.
Set in the faraway (and terrible-smelling) land of Rancidia, where
it's good to smell bad and bad to smell good, this uproarious
send-up of Snow White follows the adventures of the profoundly
stinky Hobgoblin as he flees the jealous wrath of a monstrous,
democracy-hating ogre tyrant named Fiddlefart. Along the way, he
joins forces with the Seven Stinkers-an outcast band of
foul-smelling creatures (Grody the bog monster, Yucky the skunk
ape, Icky the sloth, Musty the mummy, Fusty the moldy pirate
skeleton, Poot the sentient dung ball, and Toot, the dung beetle),
the adorable barking spiders, and a mysterious squirrel known only
as The Huntress. Hobgoblin and The Seven Stinkers of Rancidia
modernizes (and stinks up) the themes of the classic fairy tale to
serve as a timely parable of the virtues of democracy and diversity
versus the evils of corrupt regimes.
It's trouble in paradise when a park ranger informs Sasquatch that
his au-naturel style will no longer be tolerated. What follows is a
charming, humorous game of dress-up as Sasquatch and the ranger
struggle to come up with a wardrobe fit for the monster's active
lifestyle. With warm illustrations, funny rhymes, and a silly final
twist that praises acceptance, Get Dressed, Sasquatch! will have
children and parents giggling together again and again.
Bobby Carapisi and Eric Larsen - two different men, two similar
stories, two worlds colliding with a third to bring about chaos.
When Eric realizes someone else has suffered the same horror he
went through - and it looks as if the men who committed both crimes
will get away with it, thanks to our so-called system of justice -
a certain madness takes over and he determines to make the world
aware of what's been done, no matter what. At the same time, all
Bobby wants to do is rebuild his life, provide for his wife and
child and forget about everything else. Absolutely everything. And
it looks like that is exactly what will happen. But then Eric
unleashes a tsunami of anger and hate...and soon comes to realize
exactly what he's done. But it's too late to stop the furious lies
now being slung at both him and the one person he was trying to
help - Bobby Carapisi.
Prior to being gay-bashed, Alec Presslea was known as "Mr.
Vanilla." While he was a smart green-eyed blond on the low side of
thirty, he had also been neglected and abused most of his life so
wanted little more than to be left alone. Still he'd managed to
build a career, gain some friends, find a bar he liked and even
have the occasional one-night stand with a cute guy...so he was
basically happy. But as he healed from the assault, he began having
episodes where a stark animalistic rage would envelop him, and he
would act without thinking. On one occasion, he nearly tracked a
good-looking man into his office to have sex with him...and would
not have taken "No" for an answer. At first, he was spooked by
these episodes, but then he learned the police not only knew who
had attacked him, they were deliberately shielding them because one
was the son of a prominent judge. That's when the hungry howling
Panther within took over completely, and Alec's manifesto began to
take shape. So the world said he was sick and immoral and against
nature? That he did not deserve the same rights as others? That it
was okay to try and kill him? Well, he'd show everyone they were
wrong. That it was actually normal and natural for two men to
derive pleasure from each other. Period. And he'd back this up not
only with scientific evidence but also graphic videotapes showing
straight men having sex with straight men and enjoying it. However,
none of those "gay-for-pay" boys would be of any use. No, he
decided to track down the frat-boys who had attacked him and
provide them as his evidence...knowing he would have to force them
into sex with him to prove his point. But under his Porno
Manifesto, that would be perfectly fine.
The Cyclops Witch never backs down from adventure or the medley of
monsters she meets along the way. But one spooky night, the only
thing in the world that gives her the heebie-jeebies walks right up
to her door-and it's not what you're expecting. A timely tale of
fear, prejudice and misunderstanding, The Cyclops Witch and the
Heebie-Jeebies is the first picture book collaboration from Kyle
and Derek Sullivan, the author/illustrator team behind the beloved
Hazy Dell Press Monster Series of children's board books. "The
Sullivan twins dish up a yarn replete with cute monsters, cuter
children, an unusually memorable protagonist, and buckets of fluffy
uplift. Readers will melt." -Kirkus Reviews "A charming
collaborative [picture book] debut about facing one's fears, The
Cyclops Witch and the Heebie-Jeebies...is a perfect read for kids
who look forward to Halloween all year round." -PDX Parent Magazine
"Brave a creepy campout filled with rhyming verses and smiling
faces, stargaze with Mothman, night swim with Sea Beast, or roast
marshmallows with Hobgoblin, turning worry into wonder and monsters
into friends." -Foreword Reviews
