A 2024 Sydney Taylor Honor Book! Two vampire brothers must set aside their differences to solve a series of murders in this humorous and delightfully spooky novel for young readers. For fans of Too Bright to See. Adam and Victor are brothers who have the usual fights over the remote, which movie to watch and whether or not it's morally acceptable to eat people. Well, not so much eat . . . just drink a little blood. They're vampires, hiding in plain sight with their eclectic yet loving family. Ten-year-old Adam knows he has a better purpose in his life (well, immortal life) than just drinking blood, but fourteen-year-old Victor wants to accept his own self-image of vampirism. Everything changes when bodies start to appear all over town, and it becomes clear that a vampire hunter may be on the lookout for the family. Can Adam and Victor reconcile their differences and work together to stop the killer before it’s too late?

"Feeding Your Inner Monster" shares an innovative approach to life in order to teach others how to view themselves in a new way, achieve goals, and move forward to a successful future. Dr. David Picone and John Hunt have combined their years of diverse experience as a psychiatrist and attorney to create a guidebook for anyone ready to reorient the way they view themselves and reevaluate the virtues and vices that control society and prevent us from reaching our true potential. Dr. Picone and Hunt begin by examining our command and control mechanisms and then offer practical steps that teach exactly how to gain power over emotional stability, therefore opening the door to an acceptance of the true self. Including practical tools and exercises, others will learn the importance of being in touch with the inner monster, the ways to seek and find the inner monster, and then the means to utilize the inner monster's strength to face life's challenges and opportunities. For those ready to stop fighting with socially-defined shadows and gain power from all they fear, this radically different method of viewing life will lead anyone down a path where the ultimate reward is releasing the potential that was always there.
