A slasher movie turns real when two young actors are brutally murdered on a remote island film set. Their severed heads and arms are posed in a macabre homage to a nineteenth–century pirate massacre. Two years later, survivor Vanessa Loren is drawn back to South Bimini by a documentary being made about the storied region. Filmmaker Sean O'Hara aches to see how the unsolved crime haunts her and Sean knows more than a little about ghosts. Lured by visions of a spectral figurehead, Vanessa discovers authentic pirate treasures that only deepen the mystery. As Vanessa and Sean grow closer, the killer prepares to resume the slaughter...unless the dead can intervene.

In the fourth installment of the exciting Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly graphic novel series, Ruskin and his dragon friends discover there’s more than just ghosts to worry about on Ghost Island! After surviving a curse, a few wicked spells, and an angry smoke dragon, Ruskin, Cinder, Groth, and Roke decide it’s time for some fun. The dragon friends set out on a camping trip to Ghost Island, located in a remote corner of Wrenly, to see the “statues” of the woodland creatures that have temporarily been turned to stone by the resident basilisk babies. Groth assures the others that there are no ghosts on Ghost Island…it’s just called that because it’s so deserted. And the basilisks sleep during the day and hunt at night, so as long as they are cautious and quiet, they should have nothing to worry about. But when the dragons arrive, they quickly discover there’s much more to Ghost Island than some creepy statues. In fact, the basilisks are not even the scariest thing there!

But after surviving a five-foot, head-first fall from the stage earlier this year, I think I might be ready.” —Jimmy Buffett
