So far I've got the Bone series by Jeff Smith, A Series Of Unfortunate Events, and Something Wicked This Way Comes and From Dust Returned by Ray Bradbury. Because if can get more babybats to read Ray Bradbury, I will be very happy.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, well if Bradbury's okay then I'd suggest his immediate contemporaries in Urban Horror from the early sixties: Shirley Jackson, Fritz Leiber, Richard Matheson.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I need suggestions for "age-appropriate" gothy reading material for elementary-school babybats.
Such a great book. Merricat's one of the great goth/teen characters.
