About this product
Product Information
Our hero is 11-year-old Robert Arthur, and he's among the first students entering the brand new Lovecraft Middle School (LMS). The town is abuzz over the extraordinary new facility and its many state-of-the-art features. Solar panels! Radiant floor heating! Wireless internet! Digital "smart-boards" in every classroom! LMS is truly the school of the future. Better still, it's a totally "green" building, constructed almost entirely of recycled materials. But Robert soon discovers some strange mysteries. Rats in the lockers. A student goes missing. And he encounters an "old" section in the school library - a corridor full of worm-eaten, antiquated books. How did such a musty dusty room end up in a brand new school? Even worse, Robert's new science professor is behaving really strangely - it will become clear over the course of the book that the professor has been consumed by some kind of demon/wraith/spirit, that it's transforming him into a monster from the inside-out. Robert tries to unravel these mysteries with some help from his new friend Karina Ortiz - but soon she presents him with yet another conundrum- Why has he never seen Karina outside the walls of Lovecraft Middle School? The answers to all of these riddles lie in the fact that LMS was constructed almost entirely of recycled materials--but these materials came from the abandoned Tillinghast mansion, a large ancestral home & hotbed of weirdo paranormal activity. After decades of unpaid taxes, violent episodes, and unexplained phenomena, the state government tore down the hospital but then essentially REBUILT the same materials into a new building. And thus Lovecraft Middle School was born. By the end of this first volume, Robert will vanquish Professor Gargoyle and learn the creepy origin story of LMS. But his troubles are just beginning. There's something odd about the lunch lady in the cafeteria...and report cards are getting mailed home next week!

"These books are hilarious and gross and charming and bizarre and, basically, totally entertaining."-Ben H. Winters, author The Mystery of the Everything and T he Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman , a Bank Street Best Book of 2011 and an Edgar Award nominee "Professor Gargoyle has all the hints and trappings of H.P.'s world, with a slight bit of danger, a good dosage of strange and peculiar monsters, and a great setting! We've all had a weird teacher during our years in school, so every young reader can totally identify with the first book in the series ... [And] the lenticular covers are amazing! ... I cannot imagine any kid walking by these books in the store or library and not picking it up for a closer look!"-Wired.com's GeekDad " Spooky illustrations and a unique book cover add to the horror of the strange world of Lovecraft Middle School, and no self-respecting kid would want to miss enrolling in this exciting series."-Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books & Hobbies, Oscoda, MI "Author Charles Gilman spins a web that draws in the reader with plot twists that are occasionally jarring and alarming..."- Montreal Gazette "If you liked Quirk's earlier publication, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (and who didn't?), you'll gobble this one up.

You'd think the powers-that-be would be satisfied with releasing one book to test the minds of our youth for ease of corruption, but no! They've got an entire series planned, with Slither Sisters: Tales From Lovecraft Middle School #2 due out early in 2013. I had hopes that our youth might be able to resist, but then the publishers go and use a bit of arcane knowledge to create a series of covers that are irresistible to human eyes! Turn the books in your hands and you get a morphing image that should give unspeakable nightmares to our children for months on end!"- Wired.com's GeekDad " Spooky illustrations and a unique book cover add to the horror of the strange world of Lovecraft Middle School, and no self-respecting kid would want to miss enrolling in this exciting series."-Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books & Hobbies, Oscoda, MI "Author Charles Gilman spins a web that draws in the reader with plot twists that are occasionally jarring and alarming..."- Montreal Gazette "If you liked Quirk's earlier publication, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (and who didn't?), you'll gobble this one up.
