Tales From Lovecraft Middle School by Charles Gilman and Giveaway - May 17, 2013

I am a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft. I started reading his works when I was a preteen. If you're a fan too or just want to read a really entertaining MG series, you should be reading the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School by Charles Gilman. If you have Middle Schooler (and up) who loves the paranormal and things that are creepy, get these books! They are a lot of fun and the covers change from "normal" to "creepy."

To celebrate the recent publication of Teacher's Pest, Quirk Books is giving away Tales from Lovecraft Middle School 1 - 3 and a poster! You may enter to win below.

DON'T BE FOOLED by his friendly smile, his perfect manners, or his shiny red apple. Student council president Howard Mergler is actually a sinister bug-monster in disguise—and he's summoning swarms of roaches, wasps, fleas, and head lice into the corridors of Lovecraft Middle School! Twelve-year-old Robert Arthur is the only student who can stop him--but he'll need help from his best friends: the school bully, the school ghost, and an extremely courageous two-headed rat.

This third novel in the Lovecraft Middle School series begins right where Professor Gargoyle and The Slither Sisters ended—with more action, more adventure, and more outrageous monsters!

This second novel in the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series begins right where Professor Gargoyle ended. Seventh-grader Robert Arthur has discovered that two of his classmates are actually sinister snake-women in disguise. Even worse, his new middle school is full of “gates” to a terrifying alternate dimension – a haunted mansion full of strange spirits and monstrous beasts. For Robert to protect his teachers and classmates, he'll need to return to this haunted dimension with his best friends Glenn and Karina. Can they uncover the secrets of Lovecraft Middle School before it's too late?

The Slither Sisters features more bizarre beasts, more strange mysteries, and more adventure. It's perfect for readers ages 10 and up. Best of all, the cover features a state-of-the-art “morphing” photo portrait – so you can personally witness the sisters transforming into their slithering alter egos. You won't believe your eyes!

Strange things are happening at Lovecraft Middle School. Rats are leaping from lockers. Students are disappearing. The school library is a labyrinth of secret corridors. And the science teacher is acting very peculiar – in fact, he just might be a monster-in-disguise. Twelve-year-old Robert Arthur knew that seventh grade was going to be weird, but this is ridiculous!

Professor Gargoyle (Volume I in the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series) is full of bizarre beasts, strange mysteries, and nonstop adventure. It's perfect for readers ages 10 and up. Best of all, the cover features a state-of-the-art “morphing” photo portrait – so you can personally witness the professor transforming into a monster. You won't believe your eyes!

  2. I don't do "creepy" very well, so please understand when I say that some of my favorite creepy tales come from the Fablehaven series. I love those books. My grandchildren are just about old enough to read them and I can't wait. This series looks similar in tone and I can't wait to read them!

  3. I don't creepy either as I freak out easily! I remember reading with my child My Teacher is an Alien series by Bruce Coville is all that comes to mind and that's pretty tame, I think! LOL
