The Terribles might be monsters, but they're also kids just like you! Well, sort of. This hilarious peek into the world of vampires, mummies, swamp things, and bigfoots is perfect for fans of the Hotel Transylvania movies.

Their rivals? A horde of relentless, fierce, low-down GNOMES. Can THE TERRIBLES defeat these Gnomes without anyone DISAPPEARING into an ALTERNATE DIMENSION? Why are you asking me? JUST READ THE BOOK, HUMAN!
Want to be a little more TERRIBLE? This series is told in alternating chapters, charts, and crafts so you can read about monsters AND be just like one! Neat!

About the author
Travis Nichols
29 books25 followersAbout twice a month, I have a dream that I'm in my house and I discover a fish tank. It's dingy, overgrown with algae, and FULL of fish. They're swimming around and seem to be okay in the murky water, but I feel so horrible. I completely forgot that I had a fish tank. Those little guys must have been breeding like crazy just so they'd have something to eat.

Readers who are new to this series are likely to be quite confused as to its characters and content. I suggest reading the first two books in the series first. The characters are youngsters--a vampire, a werewolf, a swamp thing among them--who experience various adventures, including having been challenged to a game of Creepoball by gnomes, dealing with life after the afterlife, building on musical fame, and describing various hobbies. The different chapters, including the script for a play, are held together loosely and are mildly entertaining, aiding by plenty of artwork. But this one just didn't appeal to me as much as the first title in the series. I'd give points for originality but wish the book had been organized differently or included an introduction to the characters.
