Mars vs. New Jersey! IT is big. IT is ugly. IT has a heat ray and a bad disposition. IT is, in short, the worst thing to happen to New Jersey since the last election. Nothing can stop IT.

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD The housing market is depressed. But not as depressed as anyone who spends a night at 668 Langford Place. The decaying mansion next door-number 666-will soon see the return of Bog-Muggoth, an ancient, evil demon that makes the Amityville Horror seem like Casper the Friendly Ghost. But Bog-Muggoth isn't making his haunted house call alone. Other vile gods from beyond time and space will be joining in the festivities to make the world their oyster-and leave it an empty shell. Only one man can keep the Older Deities from dieting on the human race ... KENT MONTANA He's the descendant of Scottish nobility or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor.

Affection, maybe. Possibly even—commitment. Now it's Spring, and an immortal monster's bizarre fancy has turned to thoughts of weird love. Only one man is the unlucky object of Zergopha's affections… Kent Montana He's the descendant of Scottish nobility, or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor. He never gets a good script… but his life is more exciting and outrageous than any science fiction movie. In fact, his life is a science fiction movie… (previously published as written by Lionel Fenn)

He's out of sight… and out of his mind! Don't look now, but a mad scientist has discovered the secret of (temporary) invisibility. He's not planning to sneak into the movies, either. He's mad, remember? He wants… revenge! It doesn't take a genius to see right through the faded fiend's transparent scheme: a festival of murder, destruction, and cheap practical jokes. But only one man can clean those unsightly stains on the fabric of society… Kent Montana He's the descendant of Scottish nobility, or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor.
