Octavius Grimwood's Graveyard Guide by Rod Green
Boys and girls who relish scary stories and macabre movies will love this coffin-shaped book. It's an illustrated collection of short articles that present thumbnail descriptions of vampire bats, the Frankenstein monster, the spooky tunnels beneath the streets of Paris, the Dracula legend, and much more. Each two-page spread is devoted to a separate category of factual or fictitious creature, such as Vampires, Skeletons, Werewolves, Zombies, and others. Kids will also find fact lists of descriptive details about terrifying beings, and even ghoulish jokes, such as: Why doesn't Dracula have any friends? Because he's a pain in the neck. The color illustrations on every page are comically creepy.
