Mary Scary

Edition excerpt from Mary Scary (2006): Last year, Dark Horse Books introduced readers to Dreadful Ed-a very normal, very nice human boy who winds up as heir to the throne of the nightmare world called Nocturnia! In this standalone sequel to that fantastical story we meet Mary Scary-the weird baby girl who was swapped out for Ed when her parents, the Boogeyman and his wife, needed a male heir for their spooky kingdom! Mary has always been different from the rest of her peers. Maybe it's the spider on her head, maybe it's the snake around her neck . . . but something about her makes everything about her weird! And just when it really starts to bother her that everyone seems to notice how different she is, she meets someone who might be able to help her be less scary-a very normal boy named Ed. • Mary Scary is a fun and edgy all-ages book, suitable for kids and adults alike. • This standalone book follows last year's hit Dreadful Ed.
