The Dreadful Fate of Jonathan York: A Yarn for the Strange at Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781449471002)

Discover the horrible fate of Jonathan York as he sets out on his journey through a spooky forest with an alarming party of travelmates!

"...[a] hair-raising tribute to the life-changing power of stories . . . Merritt shows both a knack for evocative phrasing ... and a deft hand at crafting flamboyantly icky monsters in creepy settings."
--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

Jonathan York has led a boring life - a pointless degree from the community college, a lackluster job at the General Store, and never any desire for something more exciting. But when fate leaves him stranded in a sinister land,
he finds himself seeking an adventure of his own. Along the way he encounters ghoulish thieves, ravenous swamp monsters, a dastardly ice cream conspiracy, and a necromancer bent on human sacrifice.

In this beautifully illustrated, four-color novel, Jonathan York's life takes a decidedly spooky turn!
