Laurie's FIRST BOOK COVER has been published!!!

 

cover illustration by Laurie Bostian

*Signed by the Illustrator!

$October 31st - Tales & Poems Of Halloween - The King Of Halloween takes a detour from his usual brand of intense terror and takes you on a journey back to childhood Halloweens through stories and poems all celebrating the beauty of October and the wonders of Halloween. A whimsical, sometimes sentimental look at Halloween is offered here while still providing some spooky shivers. Never before has the magic of Halloween been captured to this extent, nor been so captivating to both children and the parents who take them Trick or Treating. Let Horror writer James Dennewitz tickle your funny bone and tingle your spine in this soon to be classic that will become as much a part of Halloweens as Jack O' Lanterns. (paperback)

*Next order for Halloween shipment will be placed on Oct 15th.  Please have orders in by that date!  Thank you!
