Earthworm Jim and Cat Scratch creator, Douglas Tennapel, brings his next graphic novel following Iron West and Flink — Monster Zoo! Monster Zoo tells the story of a young boy who discovers his local zoo may be more frightening than he imagined!

Monsters in a zoo run amuck when the zoo keeper goes away on holiday.

In this book, ZOO, the author, Bernard Livingston will present a study of this world which treats it as social history. But the style will be a light-handed one similar to that of his previous social study, Their Turf, the story of the world of the racehorse and the people involved therein. It is to be hoped that the fun, drama, humor and yes, enlightenment inherent in the world of the zoo will not be lacking in this work.

Four people who have nothing in common somehow go on the craziest adventures together. Jaydon Stacy, a nine year old boy who feels alone. Karee Adam, a nine year old girl with a prison sentence. Evan Dickson, a boy genius who is best friends with Jaydon. And Stefan Sero, an adult man who somehow got involved.

From the author called the best mystery writer in the English-speaking world ("Time") comes her newest novel featuring Inspector Wexford.

So, you want to read about reality? Here it is a story about a man who ignored all the pre-wedding signs and temptations that life set before him in an attempt to lead him down the correct path it had chosen for him and away from the path his parents, the church, and the state had him going down. It was too late for him by the time he discovered that his path was one filled with the horrors of being married to a monster who for no conceivable reason was out to destroy everything he believed in and held sacred. FRONT COVER SCENE: This book is about a woman, a monster who destroys men's lives. A BEAUTIFLIL BLONDE woman/the Greek Mythological MEDUSA with her Snakes as hair peering out from beneath the Black hood of The Grime Reaper's open cloak showing the outline of her breasts, etc. Around her head, above the hood, is a halo of fire. She is holding the Reaper's scythe in her hand and is standing next to a barren tree with a vulture sitting on one of the tree's barren limbs next to her. SHE HAS A WICKED EVIL LOOK ON HER FACE.

This edition brings together slightly abridged, David Attenborough's accounts of three journeys. "Zoo quest to Guiana", "Zoo quest for a dragon" and "Zoo quest in Paraquay."

Monsters have been spotted everywhere, not just hiding under a child’s bed, lurking in the closet, or springing forth from folkloric tales. For many people, monsters are nothing more than myth, folklore, and legend combined. For others—and particularly those who have encountered monstrous forms surfacing and emerging from shadowy caves, from the dark waters of ancient lakes, and from the vast jungles and forests of our worlds—monsters are all too terrifyingly real. Werewolves, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra, Mothman, the Abominable Snowman, and sea serpents may represent the most famous monsters, but they are not alone. In fact, quite the opposite: monsters can be found all across the planet. Exploring the history, folklore, pop culture, and the world of the supernatural, The Monster Book: Creatures, Beasts, and Fiends of Nature is a comprehensive resource of the monster menagerie that exists on planet earth. This fascinating look at monsters has 120 photographs, drawings, and illustrations to bring the nearly 200 entries to life, including The Mongolian Death Worm; The Beast of Bray Road; The Owlman of England; The Yeren of China; Mokele Mbembe; Living Pterosaurs; The Flatwoods Monster; The Labynkyr Devil; Alien Big Cats; Lizard Man; Lake Worth Monster; The Beast of Gevaudan; Megalania, the Monstrous Monitor; South American Sasquatch; Nessie’s lesser known cousin; The Jersey Devil; Sea Serpents; Orang Pendek; and Phantom Black Dogs. Stories of these creatures are told around flickering campfires on chilly nights in the woods, before tucking excited kids into bed, on prime-time television documentaries, and on late-night radio talk shows. Tales of terrifying creatures that the world of science assures us don’t exist. But try telling that to the witnesses. This richly researched reference overflows with fascinating information to make readers think about—and reconsider—their next visit to the woods. This fascinating read also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness.
