Ten creepy monsters met ’neath a gnarled pine. One blew away, And then there were nine. And so the countdown begins . . . A mummy, a witch, a ghost, a werewolf, a vampire, and others all gather, but one by one their crowd diminishes. At last there is only one creepy monster left. But what kind of monster is it? Squeals of laughter are sure to accompany the reading of this book from bestselling illustrator Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis, as 10 creepy monsters set out for fun. Praise for Ten Creepy Monsters "Armstrong-Ellis injects just the right amount of humor into her portrayals of the ghoulish bunch, keeping the tone appropriately light." —Kirkus Reviews "Generously detailed acrylics provide a touch of nefarious charm, while a tender surprise ending should gratify trick-or-treaters." —Publishers Weekly "Fun for Halloween or for counting anytime." —School Library Journal "Armstrong-Ellis’ textured images, full of spooky spirit and clever detail, add to the fun. A happy Halloween outing." —Booklist "With rich language and a delightfully dark nighttime palette, this pleasing rhyme begs to be acted out or performed with puppets. The illustrations are appropriately ghoulish." —BookPage "A perfect Halloween read-aloud but a great way to relieve malaise on any day, this picture book also helps young readers learn to count as the monsters fall by the wayside in gruesome fashion." —Reading Today Online "Author/artist Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis clearly had fun crafting this silly, lighthearted Halloween tale of monsters who disappear..." —The Seattle Times "Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis delivers a delightful rhyming lesson in subtraction." —USA Today

Entering the human race, we walk out into a world, searching for fulfillment. In our pursuit, we struggle with emotional insecurities and faulty relationships. Eventually we find ourselves in a society filled with broken people where many weary travelers are on the same endless quest for peace and well-being. In The Search Stops Here, the author gives details of her personal experiences with depression, anxiety, anger, and suicide. Sharing her journey toward restoration, she explores the root causes of defeat, aiding in figuring out our frustrations and our hurt. She addresses life issues such as control and expectations and provides practical and proven processes for an improved level of health and wholeness. Debbie Calvert insists that the damage of rejection can be repaired, the fight to conquer inferiority ended, and the pain of troubling emotions relieved. Tackling foundational beliefs, the author shows how thought processes affect our behaviors and strongly suggests the need of new “house rules.” This book offers convincing evidence of an alternative route – one which is more effective in offering nurture and love, human nature’s absolute necessity. Stressing the importance of living one day at a time and better understanding true success, The Search Stops Here challenges us to stop our tiring efforts and end our lifelong search.

In 1954, the comic book industry instituted the Comics Code, a set of self-regulatory guidelines imposed to placate public concern over gory and horrific comic book content, effectively banning genuine horror comics. Because the Code applied only to color comics, many artists and writers turned to black and white to circumvent the Code's narrow confines. With the 1964 Creepy #1 from Warren Publishing, black-and-white horror comics experienced a revival continuing into the early 21st century, an important step in the maturation of the horror genre within the comics field as a whole. This generously illustrated work offers a comprehensive history and retrospective of the black-and-white horror comics that flourished on the newsstands from 1964 to 2004. With a catalog of original magazines, complete credits and insightful analysis, it highlights an important but overlooked period in the history of comics.
