NIGHTY-NIGHTMARE: Are Harold, Howie, and Chester simply lost in the woods with Dawg, their strange new friend? Or have they been lured away from their campsite intentionally, leaving the Monroes at the mercy of evil spirits? Lulling Dawg to sleep with a bedtime story may be their only hope of escaping—but is the hare-raising tale of the origins of Bunnicula, the vampire bunny, really a bedtime story?

RETURN TO HOWLIDAY INN: The Monroes have gone on vacation, once again leaving Harold, Chester, and Howie at Chateau Bow-Wow. The motley crew of boarders may have changed, but the creepy goings-on at Howliday Inn have not. A ghostly voice, buried bones, and a collar with the name “Rosebud” on it suggest that murder may have been added to the services offered at the kennel.

BUNNICULA STRIKES AGAIN!: It seems that Bunnicula is back to his old ways—or so Chester thinks, having found pale vegetables drained of their juices scattered about the kitchen. Can Harold let Chester get away with hurting an innocent bunny, no matter what his harebrained suspicions are?When the Monroes notice Bunnicula’s weakened condition and rush him to the vet, the chase is on, ending with a dramatic confrontation in a most unusual (and dangerous) location.

BUNNICULA MEETS EDGAR ALLAN CROW: Pete has just won a contest, and the prize is a school visit from none other than M. T. Graves, Pete’s idol and the bestselling author of the FleshCrawlers series. But Chester the cat is suspicious. Especially worrisome to In each of the FleshCrawlers books, something bad always happen to the pets…. It’s up to the gang to find out if M. T. Graves and his beady-eyed Edgar Allan Crow are really devising a plot to make their beloved bunny . . . NEVERMORE!

James Howe has written more than eighty books in the thirty-plus years he's been writing for young readers. It sometimes confuses people that the author of the humorous Bunnicula series also wrote the dark young adult novel, The Watcher, or such beginning reader series as Pinky and Rex and the E.B. White Read Aloud Award-winning Houndsley and Catina and its sequels. But from the beginning of his career (which came about somewhat by accident after asking himself what kind of vampire a rabbit might make), he has been most interested in letting his imagination take him in whatever direction it cared to. So far, his imagination has led him to picture books, such as I Wish I Were a Butterfly and Brontorina (about a dinosaur who dreams of being a ballerina), mysteries, poetry (in the upcoming Addie on the Inside), and fiction that deals with issues that matter deeply to him. He is especially proud of The Misfits, which inspired national No Name-Calling Week (www.nonamecallingweek.org) and its sequel Totally Joe. He does not know where his imagination will take him in the next thirty-plus years, but he is looking forward to finding out.

I kind of don't know how to rate these? When I was a kid (the kid who had a Bunnicula-themed birthday party ICYMI), I had all 5 of the existing Bunnicula books. This collection included 2 I've never read before. They're silly and fun, they probably introduce youngsters to some terrible dad jokes and the horror genre. The only real bummer is that Victor Garber didn't return as narrator for the final book. You get used to him after 6!

(And the author at least gestures towards criticism about Harold eating so much chocolate in the later books, but also seems a little defiant about that.)
