What happens when a sheepish knight and a not-so-fierce dragon fight for the very first time? Well, it's no ordinary battle since the knight has to go to the castle library to learn about dragon-fighting and the dragon must dig through his ancestor's things to find out how to fight a knight! "Spontaneity of line and feeling are backed by zesty colors and a jovial, tongue-in-cheek tone to which children can relate—a top springtime choice." —Booklist "There's a swirl of good-humored life to the book." —The New York Times Book Review

An alien-green light gleaming from behind a door that shouldn't exist. A world of sudden desperation --- all its stories have vaporized overnight, gone from the shelves of libraries, from the internet, from the human mind itself. A Fourth of July in Holebrim, Texas, so explosively grotesque, you'll never forget it. A city of werewolves hell-bent on taking over the world. A business man discovers God has committed suicide, and decides to make profit from the magical properties of His sacred body. A practical joker whose jokes grow sharp teeth, and turn on him. An accursed typewriter named Lovely Lila fulfills the wildest dreams of any would-be writer . . . but at what cost? Matters Most Macabre is a collection of thirteen spine-tingling tales from the maniacal mind of Tylor James. These stories will amuse, disturb, provoke thought, and just plain weird you out!

Ava is a firebug—she can start fires with her mind. Which would all be well and good if she weren't caught in a deadly contract with the Coterie, a magical mafia. She's one of their main hitmen . . . and she doesn't like it one bit. Not least because her boss, Venus, killed Ava's mother. When Venus asks Ava to kill a family friend, Ava rebels. She knows very well that you can't say no to the Coterie and expect to get away with it, though, so she and her friends hit the road, trying desperately to think of a way out of the mess they find themselves in. Preferably keeping the murder to a minimum, in Lish McBride's Firebug.
