Enjoy a Peter Cadaver Classic #comic while I tackle some publishing deadlines. #PeterCadaver #KidLitSundayScaries

Panel 1: Continued from last week’s strip, Belanie confronts Francie angrily in the lunchroom. Belanie says, "Why don't you have anything positive to contribute to the chat group, Francie?" Francie snidely replies, "I'm POSITIVE my musical tastes are WAY better than everyone else's."

Panel 2: Belanie asks Francie, "What do you get out of belittling others? Does it make you feel good?" Francie says, "Yes." Belanie continues, "Even though it makes everyone else feel miserable and angry?"

Panel 3: Close up of Francie pausing to think.

Panel 4: Belanie returns to sit back with Edwin the Vampire. Edwin says, "What kind of sicko FEEDS on human suffering?" Belanie says, "I never thought I'd hear a vampire say that."

This book is great. The largest problem I had was getting my 12 year old to let me see it. We agreed it looked cool, and then when we got home to read it he immediate sunk it up to his room. "It's really good!" He said, and read it a second time. I had a to wait a while to get my hands on it. Anything that can hold his attention as well as this story did gets 5 stars from me!

Ever since 13yo Jo made the ghost of her best friend disappear, she thought she was a monster. While stuck at America’s most haunted hotel, she met a real monster. His goal: to possess the hotel. To win, she’s got to rely on good ghosts and a local teen, otherwise it’s all over. #DVPit #MG #H #DIS

Reader review of "The Many Misfortunes of Eugenia Wang" by Stan Yan

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STAR MUST READ GRIPPING BOOK!
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2026
Format: Hardcover
Verified Purchase
I LOVE how relatable The Many MISFORTUNES of Eugenia Wang is! Since the very beginning, the story pulls readers in and honestly I didn't let go of the book until I finished reading it. My son read it after me, also read it in one sitting because not only is it so interesting, it's culturally competent, it's inclusive, and has the pre-teen spark that's fun and keeps you wanting more. The impending doom has me on my feet and I am like whoah will this actually happen? The way this book inflicts the horror vibe without making it too scary in certain parts is genius! This is a MUST-READ 5 STAR BOOK THAT CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND ADULTS WILL LOVE!!!

Panel 1: Belanie, Peter, and Edwin the Vampire eat their lunches in the cafeteria. Edwin looks down forlornly at what looks like a blood bag with a straw in it labeled, "Impossi-blood". Belanie asks him, "What's wrong, Edwin?" Edwin says, "Mom's trying to make us eat more humanely, so she sent me with a "human blood substitute.""

Panel 2: Peter asks Edwin, "Have you tried it?" Edwin says, "No."

Panel 3: Close up of Edwin taking a tentative sip, "Slurp."

Panel 4: Belanie asks, "Well?" Edwin responds, "Tastes like chicken."

Okay, this was SUCH a fun read! 😂📚

“The combination of humor, mystery, and just a little bit of spooky was SO good... There’s also so much heart underneath all the humor, especially when it comes to family, following your dreams, and figuring out who you are for yourself.”

Enjoy a new Peter Cadaver #comic built on the back of the classics I've been running for the last 3 weeks. #PeterCadaver #KidLitSundayScaries #cryptoscams

Panel 1: Continued from last week’s strip, Peter, Patty, Terry the Tapeworm, and Spectra sit around the kitchen table playing a board game that looks like a cross between Monopoly and Risk. Peter looks puzzled, "Terrycoin?". Terry says, “Mind you,
Terrycoin doesn't have any value on its own." Patty asks, "Then why would people want it?"

Panel 2: Close up of Terry lecturing, “It's only after I pretend to "mint" this imaginary asset, expending an inordinate amount of energy and natural resources and open my own unregulated exchange to exclusively trade it does it gain value."

Panel 3: Peter asks, "Why?" Terry says, "Sigh. If I have to explain it to you..."

Panel 4: Patty says, "You CAN'T explain it, can you?" Terry says, "You're kids. You
wouldn't understand either!"
