Strange Bedfellows

Ariel Slamet Ries

In this stunning graphic novel by two-time Ignatz award-winning graphic novelist Ariel Slamet Ries, Oberon must choose between fantasy and reality when he develops the ability to conjure his dreams in real life--including the facsimile of the boy who got away.

In the not-too-distant future, most of humanity resides on its last-ditch effort at utopia: Meridian, a remote alien planet where you're more likely to be born superhuman than left-handed.

None of that is important to Oberon Afolayan. Since his mildly public breakdown, his whole life seems to be spiraling out of control--from dropping out of university to breaking up with his boyfriend, it seems like only a karmic inevitability when he wakes up one day with the ability to conjure his dreams in the real world.

Oberon's newfound powers come with a facsimile of his high school crush, Kon, who mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet almost three years ago and who is a little more infuriating (if not also infuriatingly hot) than Oberon remembers.

Kon makes it his mission to turn Oberon's life around, and while they struggle to get a handle on his powers and his disastrous personal life (not to mention the appearance of strange nightmare creatures), it turns out this dream version of Kon has secrets of his own--dangerous ones.

Oberon might have more on his plate than he originally thought, but is giving up his dreams--even the one he might have accidentally fallen in love with--the only way to find happiness in reality?

The Graveyard Club

R.L. Stine

THIS TOWN IS DEAD


Graves End is your average small town, other than the fact that it's surrounded by cemeteries on all sides and the dead outnumber the living...

There's also the swarms of red-eyed bats that fill the sky every night, the mysterious disappearances, and the constant strange goings-on that residents refuse to talk about. But still, like any small town, teenagers find a way to liven things up, even in a dead-end town like Graves End.

Amongst the tombstones, Parker West and his small gang of high school misfits find the one place they fit in, and form a lifelong bond as The Graveyard Club. A little light mischief and gentle havoc keep them entertained in their dull town, but their misadventures will lead The Graveyard Club to suddenly find themselves with bigger problems than just trying to survive senior year...

Master of scares R.L. Stine (Fear Street, Goosebumps, Stuff of Nightmares) puts his stamp on YA horror graphic novels with this new series of teen terrors featuring hair-raising art from celebrated illustrator Carola Borelli (Spider-Woman).

Collects The Graveyard Club: Revenge Game and The Graveyard Club: Fresh Blood.
