Synopsis
Three wishes go awry in a middle-grade debut as comical as it is spooky.
Toxic Vapor Worms. Shark Hounds. King-Crab Spiders. Two-Headed Mutant Rodents.
These are just a few of the beasts featured in the pages of Scare Scape, the creepiest comic book around. They are vicious. They are terrifying. They are, luckily, totally made up.
Morton Clay is a huge fan of Scare Scape, so he isn't easily frightened. He's not afraid of the dark, or grossed-out by bugs and slugs. But when Morton and his siblings, James and Melissa, find an old stone statue buried in their yard, they discover that there is good reason to be afraid. . . .
Spooky, funny, and fresh, Sam Fisher's middle-grade debut explores the bonds and rivalries that are unique to siblings . . . even as it revels in monstrous mayhem!

From Booklist
Morton and his family have just moved into a creepy old Victorian mansion. Unlike most kids, Morton, a big fan of the horror comic Scare Scape, is thrilled by the home’s spooky cobwebbed corners and secret passageways. While mowing the lawn, Morton comes across a stone gargoyle buried in the dirt, with three wish-granting fingers and one ominous warning about getting what you ask for. Morton and his brother and sister each make a wish, and “Monkey’s Paw”–style, they get way more than they bargained for. The kids battle a series of grotesque and powerful monsters (all illustrated like trading cards in the opening pages), investigate a town-wide case of missing cats, and discover the truth behind the mysterious death of John King, the renowned, reclusive author of Scare Scape, who just so happens to have lived in the house before them. Throw in some maggot-infested steaks, wall-scaling demons, and an evil teacher, and you’ve got a Lovecraft-lite debut full of monster-fighting action and a dark-magic mystery that, while flimsy at times, will nonetheless appeal to burgeoning horror fans. Grades 4-7. --Sarah Hunter
