Philadelphia. The late 1870s. A city of cobblestone sidewalks and horse-drawn carriages. Home to the famous anatomist and surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a “resurrectionist” (a.k.a. grave robber), Dr. Black studied at Philadelphia’s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he developed an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world’s most celebrated mythological beasts—mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs—were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind? The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of Dr. Black, from his humble beginnings to the mysterious disap-pearance at the end of his life. The second book is Black’s magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray’s Anatomy for mythological beasts—dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, Cerberus—all rendered in meticulous-ly detailed black-and-white anatomical illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. The Ressurectionist tells his story.
E. B. HUDSPETH is an artist and author living in New Jersey. This is his first book.

Disasterland: The Last Policeman Book II
The Last PolicemanA Novel
Set three months before a deadly asteroid is due to hit earth, this Last Policeman sequel chronicles the further adventures of detective Hank Palace. The Con-cord Police Department is now operating under the auspices of the U.S. Justice Department, and Hank is out of a job—until he’s hired by a business tycoon to help f ind the man’s estranged son. Hank’s search leads him to a chaotic East Coast landscape where anti-immigrant militia patrol the shores, fending off droves of people f leeing the “impact zone” of the asteroid. And it isn’t long before Hank’s missing-person case turns into a murder investiga-tion. But the Last Policeman sequel asks us to consider questions well beyond solving the identity of the killer. What do we as human beings owe to one another? And what does it mean to be civilized when civilization is collaps-ing all around you?
BEN H. WINTERS is a New York Times best-selling author and an Edgar Award nominee. He lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was the surprise best seller of 2011—an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and vintage photography that enthralled readers and critics alike. Publishers Weekly called it “an enjoyable, eccentric read, distinguished by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters.”
This second novel begins in 1940, immediately after the first book ended. Having made a daring escape from Miss Peregrine’s island, Jacob and his new friends flee to London, the Peculiar capital of the world. There, they encounter a dangerous madman named Caul, who also happens to be Miss Peregrine’s brother. Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thor-oughly creepy) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight fantasy readers of all ages.

You think you know her story. You’ve read the Brothers Grimm; you’ve watched the Disney cartoons; you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But the lives of real princesses couldn’t be more different. Sure, many were graceful and benevolent leaders--but just as many were ruthless in their quest for power, and all of them had secrets hidden away in their royal closets. Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe was a Nazi spy. Empress Elizabeth of the Austro-Hungarian empire slept wearing a mask of raw veal. Princess Olga of Kiev murdered thousands of men, and Princess Rani Lakshmibai waged war on the battlefield, charging into combat with her toddler son strapped to her back. Princesses Behaving Badly offers minibiographies of all these princesses and dozens more. It’s a fascinating read for history buffs, feminists, and anyone seeking a different kind of bedtime story.

Great for fans of the Secret Lives series!

By Doogie Horner
Cut two eyeholes into a bedsheet and BOO! You’ve got yourself a classic Halloween icon. But what hap-pens if you tie the bed sheet in knots? What happens when you set it on fire, hang it from a clothesline, or put a llama underneath it? 100 Ghosts is a brilliantly simple artistic exploration of an icon as familiar as a grinning jack-o-lantern or an arched black cat. It’s a delightful gift for adults, kids, and anyone who enjoys spooky design.
DooGie Horner is a writer, designer, and stand-up comedian. He is the author of Everything Explained Through Flowcharts (HarperCollins, 2010) and Dirty Jokes Every Man Should Know (Quirk, 2009).

“ Fans of [R.L. Stine’s] Goosebumps and other lightly creepy fare will look forward to spending more time with [this] series.” —Publishers Weekly
It’s a new school year in a strange new school: Lovecraft Middle School. It’s a brand-new state-of-the-art facility—so why do creepy things keep happening? Why do teachers act so strangely? And where are all the rats coming from?
In Professor Gargoyle, 11-year-old Robert and his new friends Glenn and Carina discover that the school library might be a portal to another world, one teeming with monsters, demons, ghosts, and other beasts that go squish in the night.
In The Slither Sisters, we follow Robert and his friends deeper into the world of Lovecraft Middle School—and its bizarre parallel dimen-sion, where they meet a pair of mysterious twin sisters who may not be what they seem . . .
Teacher’s Pest introduces us to student council president Howard Mer-gler. Don’t be fooled by his polite manners or perfect test scores—he’s really a horrible insectoid monster determined to destroy the school!
In our newest book, Substitute Creature, after a giant storm dumps over a meter of snow on the town, Robert and his friends find themselves trapped in Lovecraft Middle School. They have no choice but to spend the night sleeping in classrooms and facing off against a sinister substitute teacher.

Nick and Tesla’s High-Voltage Danger Laband Nick and Tesla’s Robot Army Rampage
Nick and Tesla are bright 12-year-old siblings with a knack for science, electronics, and getting into trouble. When their parents mysteriously vanish, they’re sent to live with their Uncle Eli, a brilliant inventor who engineers top-secret gadgets for a classified government agency. It’s not long before Nick and Tesla are embarking on adventures of their own--engineering all kinds of outrageous contraptions to get themselves out of (and into!) predicaments: 9-volt burglar alarms, electromagnets, mobile tracking devices, and more. Readers are invited to join in the fun as each story contains instructions and blueprints for five different age-appropriate projects.
In Nick and Tesla’s High-Voltage Danger Lab, we meet the characters and learn how to make everything from rocket launchers to soda-powered vehicles. In Nick and Tesla’s Robot Army Rampage, the brother-and-sister duo unleash a swarm of battery-powered gizmos (which readers can make at home). Learning about science has never been so dangerous—or so much fun!
