Hardback. Zustand: Good. From USA Today bestselling author J.W. Ocker comes a chilling middle grade horror perfect for fans of R.L. Stine and Holly Black alike. Noe Wiley couldn't be more excited to move. After the slumber party sleepwalking incident of last year, she's ready to make some new friends. But Noe didn't expect the sullen, strange girls who live on her new street. And in this suspenseful supernatural thriller, she certainly didn't expect the strange warning they give her--to stay out of her basement, no matter what. Noe's not going to let these girls boss her around. She'll go in her own basement whenever she wants. So she does. And there he is. And now there's no going back. A Terrifying New Monster: Forget ghosts. The Smashed Man is flat, oozes from a crack in the wall, and only comes out at night. A Dangerous Secret: Noe and her little sister Len are both sleepwalkers, which makes a monster in the basement more than just a scary story--it makes it a nightly threat. Kids vs. Monsters: When the grown-ups' eyes turn a strange, shimmery purple, they can't see the danger. The kids of Dread End are on their own. A Chilling Mystery: What really happened to Erica, the girl who lived in the house before them? And why is she now in a coma hundreds of miles away.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Edgar Allan Poe was an oddity: his life, literature, and legacy are all, well, odd. In Poe-Land, J. W. Ocker explores the physical aspects of Poe?s legacy across the East Coast and beyond, touring Poe?s homes, examining artifacts from his life?locks of his hair, pieces of his coffin, original manuscripts, his boyhood bed?and visiting the many memorials dedicated to him. Along the way, Ocker meets people from a range of backgrounds and professions?actors, museum managers, collectors, historians?who have dedicated some part of their lives to Poe and his legacy. Poe-Land is a unique travelogue of the afterlife of the poet who invented detective fiction, advanced the emerging genre of science fiction, and elevated the horror genre with a mastery over the macabre that is arguably still unrivaled today.…
