The Monroe house is going mad with excitement. 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. He’s even going to stay with the Monroes while he’s visiting! Harold and Howie are thrilled, but Chester the cat is suspicious. Why does Graves dress all in black? Why doesn’t the beady-eyed crow perched on his shoulder say anything? Why has a threatening flock of crows invaded the backyard? And most worrisome of all: In each of the FleshCrawlers books, why does something bad always happen to the pets? Suddenly, Graves’s interest in all of the animals–especially Bunnicula–looks far from innocent. It’s up to Chester, Harold, and Howie to find out if M. T. Graves and Edgar Allan Crow are really devising a plot to make their beloved bunny . . . NEVERMORE!

"Usually I don't enter a progress on such a short book. However, I'm at a temporary standstill. I was merrily reading along when the book abruptly ended on page 109. Someone was saying something, the sentence was incomplete, turn the page and see a full-page picture, and book over. Not that any pages are torn or otherwise removed from the book. It was bound that way. Since it is a library book, I showed it to the librarians and they said that kind of weird stuff does happy periodically. (Once one of them had a book that skipped chapter 4, but had chapter 3 twice.) Since the book felt fairly new, we were all curious if anyone had checked it out before. Guess what. Thirteen people had checked it out, three of them had renewed it. And none reported any issues with the ending. Weird, huh."

" No my favorite of the Bunnicula series, but fun nevertheless. My daught (9) loved it and I'm planning on reading a collection of Poe's poems aimed at younger readers with her soon. This was a good intro to that. "
— Carol, 2/11/2014" The Bunnicula series is still as good at 28 as it was at 10. Harold, Chester and Howie remind me of the intrigue my best friend and I invented for Dr. Broderick, a local veterinarian, who maybe carried a gun and was doing secret laboratory experiments on his pets. "

— Susan, 1/20/2014" I loved this series as a kid. I need to go back and reread the books, one day! "
— Gorky, 1/19/2014" Last of this series. What fun. "
— Lugene, 1/18/2014" Great book. Sad this is the end of Bunnicula. ;( Can not wait to read 'tales from the house of bunnicula'. Glad that they finealy have a book about M.T.Graves. Or should I say Miles. "
— Zurg, 1/5/2014" Great, as always. Though, I'm disappointed that "FleshCrawlers" isn't a real series. "
— Lori, 12/30/2013" I got this a long time ago and just found it! Overall I thought it was cute! "
— Sara, 12/24/2013" Listened to the audio book in the car. Liked it, but not as much as the first one. "
— Silas, 10/27/2013" the best of the 3 i read it was ok "
— Lena, 8/31/2013" I loved this one. It was so funny! I remember actually thinking that he had been poisoned. It was hard to eat in the cafeteria for awhile after reading this. "
— Katherine, 7/6/2013" I do love an author who can pull in the literary references and have so much fun! "
— Kathy, 6/7/2013" The books plot was meant for a child there for, I didn't like it. It was all based around a bunny that didnt eat normally it sucked the juices out of the plants and used and slept during the day. and an author came to steal the bunny because he wanted a companion. "
— Alec, 9/22/2012" Good story. M T Graves and Ms Pickles are good characters. Too bad Harold's giving up writing. "
— Darren, 4/4/2012" The book was rather childish and scatterbrained with not mentioning whom was talking (animal or real person). But other than that it was a pretty fun book to read though I didn't get it because this was the 7th book and I just jumped in on it. "
— Noah, 3/6/2012" Had some laugh out loud moments, but was otherwise kind of dumb. I really liked the Bunnicula books as a kid, but this latest one isn't as good or I've grown up become too sophisticated for such nonsense. (Yeah right!) "
— Nathan, 12/19/2011" Bear in mind I read several others in the series when I was a kid. I read this title when I was much much older. Perhaps some of the magic is lost perhaps it was not as good as the others. I felt it was predictable. "
— Isaac, 3/22/2011" A pretty good shorter Bunnicula story, not quite as entertaining as the others though. "
— Mark, 1/3/2011" That has to be the worst pun I've ever heard. Also, a raven is NOT a crow. The only reason I liked this book was because it was Bunnicula. "
