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?...more

I was a bookish child. You’re all astonished, I know. But my access to books was extremely limited. This was, of course, before ebooks, so my options were to con someone into reading aloud to me (very limiting and not sustainable), trying to get something in Braille (very unlikely and extremely expensive), or hoping I could get an audiobook from my local library (usually abridged down to a third its proper length, and of course this was back before the audiobook industry actually existed in any...more

Pete, the eldest of the Monroe boys, has won an essay contest for describing why the Fleshcrawlers book series grosses him out the most, and now the author of the series, M.T. Graves, will be visiting his school. What's even more exciting is that, instead of staying at a hotel like he normally would, Mr. Graves has asked to stay with the Monroes, all so he could meet their most unusual pets.

There is something very strange about him. he is always asking to have one on one time with chester and harold and so they find out there is...more
I have adored Bunnicula & the adventures of Harold and Chester for a long time. I read a lot as a kid, but no other book or series has held as much fondness for me over the years as these. So when I discovered that I had missed the stories that had come out once I made it to high school, I was overjoyed and picked up copies of all of the books to read them again. I wonder how many books from my youth would hold up as well to the memories as these have.

My review? Well, I'll just copy-and-paste what I e-mailed to a friend earlier this morning:
I read Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crowe last night and...in its way...it was sad. It is the capstone to the series, as Howard (the dog) can no longer write because of arthritis: but he had to tell this final tale. :(
Chester is as insane as usual. And Edgar Allan Crow turns out to be quite (wait,...more

This book ends the Bunnicula series but I believe there is a spin-off series of sorts from Howie's POV. Anyhow, in this book, Harold recounts the adventure he and his friends have when a children's book writer, M.T. Graves, comes to stay at the Monroes house because Peter won a contest. The author brings his pet crow, Edgar Allan Crow, and Chester suspects right away that something is amiss. The neat this about this is that the fictional author (Graves) is based off of the real-life author R.L S...more

"Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow" is the last book in the Bunnicula series. I love this book! In this book the Monroes meet MT Graves the author of the Flesh Crawlers series books. The mystery in the book surrounds Graves. Graves is a very dark and unusual character. This time it is not just Chester who is suspicious Harold is becomes suspicious of Graves as well.
After the holiday I plan to read this one with my students. I think they will enjoy the mystery and the ending is really touching.

So we come at last to the final story in this weird and wonderful series. We really enjoyed the Bunnicula series by James Howe; our girls just love them. The stories are just scary enough, with endings that show that nothing was what it seemed and there was nothing to be frightened of after all.
The word play and ascerbic wit is often groan-worthy, but I love that our girls understand more and more of the puns without me having to explain them. The vocabulary is quite advanced and I am proud tha...more

I didn’t remember this one from when I was a kid, but when Pete answered his cell phone, I realized it was because it wasn’t written when I was a kid. My how times have changed. And not just times, but expectations: I noticed this book’s sentence structure seems somewhat dumbed-down compared to the earlier books in the series, which I read when I was in school. The jokes don’t seem quite as clever either (although there are still some the adults will get more than the kids). Or maybe I’m just ge...more
Booklist described this book as "An entertaining addition to the long-running Bunnicula series." I think this is an adequate way to describe this book. It was an enjoyable read, and who doesn't love a good pun like Edgar Allan Crow? I don't feel it has the grabbing power that other books in the series have, so if you are just beginning to read James Howe, grab Bunnicula or Howliday Inn first, but looking at it in relationship to the series, it is a nice addition.
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...more
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.
A classic comeback novel. In the previous Bunnicula book, narrator Harold the dog made it clear that was the last one, but here we are. Howe does a great job, though, of bringing back the characters, capturing Chester's hysteria, Howie's jokes, and Harold's love of food. This one involved the Monroe family and other human characters more directly, but that worked out okay.

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.
I loved the Bunnicula series as a kid, and I reread them as an adult. I was surprised and excited to see that James Howe had written a seventh (an final) book in the series recently. I promptly ordered it, read it, and proceeded to feel a bit let down.
There were some cute parts, and some downright funny parts. But the plot was so weak, I couldn't really enjoy the book. (The part where you figure out what's in M. T. Graves's black bag is beyond ridiculous. I had to stop reading to pb and say, "Y...more

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.

Really any of the bunnicula books would be great to be used as a read aloud at the end of the day. There simple, fun and easy to read.
Listened to the audio book in the car. Liked it, but not as much as the first one.
I do love an author who can pull in the literary references and have so much fun!
I loved this series as a kid. I need to go back and reread the books, one day!
I got this a long time ago and just found it! Overall I thought it was cute!
this book was very interesting. for a minute i thought it would be the end of the bunnicula series but there is an opening but i sort of hope he doesn't it gets a little boring if you just drag it on. but it was a cute story and i would recommend it to those who need something happy to read with a bit of suspence and humor. as usual chester is thinking way too much!
I thought it was hilarious because a guy had a black bag that was full of stuffed animals.
This story was about a guy that was afraid of pets that wrote scary stories and what he did when he went to Bunnicula's house.

Way funny and soooo cute and kinda a nice good story!
A pretty good shorter Bunnicula story, not quite as entertaining as the others though.
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.
the best of the 3 i read it was ok

Good story. M T Graves and Ms Pickles are good characters. Too bad Harold's giving up writing.
Great, as always. Though, I'm disappointed that "FleshCrawlers" isn't a real series.
