A hilarious picture book in bright, neon colors that is perfect for fans of The Book With No Pictures and The Day the Crayons Quit. This is part counting book, part introduction to worms, but all superbly silly. The fact that the author/illustrator can only draw worms will not take anything away from the laugh-out-loud adventure readers will have as they turn the pages of this slightly subversive picture book.
About the Book Guess I'll Go Eat Worms - Maybe is a commentary on growing up and growing old in a modern western society. This writing explicates some of Phillip Anthony Dalon’s life’s journey, and how and why we all change our perspectives and opinions as we make this constantly changing voyage. It admittedly steps on a lot of toes, but if taken in its entirety, it may make sense to those with an open mind. Phillip’s work experience includes: dishwasher, waiter, short order cook, heavy equipment operator, truck driver, ordinance supply clerk, civil engineering technologist, surveyor, civil engineering designer, draftsman/site planner, construction coordinator, construction engineer/project manager with a large, multinational corporation, licensed general contractor, and licensed home inspector. It is undeniable that he has vast experience with the subject matter. About the Author Phillip Anthony Dalon was born in 1942, into abject poverty and raised in the slums of a large southern city. Around thirteen years old, he was shot in the back; later, around 15, he was beaten mercilessly by a mob, and at twenty, he was stabbed in the side. He is a veteran of the US Army and served overseas in Hanau, Germany. He has undergone three surgeries on his arteries. He lost half of his left lung but survived lung cancer in his early seventies. Dalon has a bovine aortic heart valve replacement, a Pacemaker, and a Watchman implant. Dalon obtained a patent for a tool in 2003 and published ClanWickie, a full-length children’s adventure novel in 2011. For all of his trials and tribulations, he has been blessed with a beautiful wife, four grown children, and seven grandchildren. He and his wife, Faye, have the retirement home of their dreams in a country setting with mountain views. They happily cohabit with their little dog, Ellie.

Focusing on programs from the 1970s to the early 2000s, this volume explores televised youth horror as a distinctive genre that affords children productive experiences of fear. Led by intrepid teenage investigators and storytellers, series such as Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Are You Afraid of the Dark? show how young people can effectively confront the terrifying, alienating, and disruptive aspects of human existence. The contributors analyze how televised youth horror is uniquely positioned to encourage young viewers to interrogate—and often reimagine—constructs of normativity. Approaching the home as a particularly dynamic viewing space for young audiences, this book attests to the power of televised horror as a domain that enables children to explore larger questions about justice, human identity, and the preconceptions of the adult world.
"Who on earth would eat worms for lunch?" the curious little leaf-loving worm wants to know... "Not me!" says the mouse, who likes cheese.

Gore's simple, engaging text and his playful die-cuts reveal what every animal loves to eat most. In this sparklingly fresh, lighthearted romp, readers will relish the concept of individual taste as they guess what each different animal calls lunch. Who won't be hungry to read this one again?

WINNER OF THE JAMES HERBERT AWARD FOR HORROR WRITING “The Troop scared the hell out of me, and I couldn’t put it down. This is old-school horror at its best.” —Stephen King Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip—a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfire. But when an unexpected intruder stumbles upon their campsite—shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry—Tim and the boys are exposed to something far more frightening than any tale of terror. The human carrier of a bioengineered nightmare. A horror that spreads faster than fear. A harrowing struggle for survival with no escape from the elements, the infected…or one another. Part Lord of the Flies, part 28 Days Later—and all-consuming—this tightly written, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you deep into the heart of darkness, where fear feeds on sanity…and terror hungers for more.
