“Bones sets out into a stormy night on a successful investigation that takes him from creepy basement to spooky graveyard, and includes encounters with a terrified werewolf, a vampire Emeril wannabe, and other typical town residents…A burbling cauldron of ‘bat foot stew with crispy worm brains’ is but one of the shivery delights that await emergent readers in this not-too-creepy caper. Stay tuned for sequels.”
