Rest in Peace: Halloween Special

Rest in Peace is a humorous and spooky book that explores friendship for ages 3+, set in a graveyard where Ghoul, after a long Halloween, cannot get to sleep because all of his monster pals want to keep the party going. Rest in Peace is written by Tyler Ham and published by the SCOOT! imprint of Scout Comics.

After a long Halloween night, Ghoul's monster friends start knocking on his tomb door. He reluctantly allows Dracula in. Then the Werewolf. Next the Mummy, followed by Frankenstein's Monster. Finally, when Blob tries to ooze his way through the door Ghoul loses his cool and kicks them all out into the darkness.

But was his decision too hasty? Only when his conscience - in the form of the Invisible Man - makes him realize that his friends simply wanted to spend more time together does he see the error of his ways.

Rest In Peace is the first in a series of picture books for children ages 3+ by Tyler Ham.
