The taker : two original Creepshow novels

Personal Author EPSB
Elley. Cooper

Summary
This collection includes two novels inspired by Creepshow, Shudder's anthology TV series based on the 1982 horror comedy classic. When Bea moves to a new town, she is determined to do two things: get on the dance team at school and find new friends. What she doesn't expect is for one of those friends to be a ghost, or for that ghost to be jealous of her dance crew. If Bea wants to keep the peace, she has to do what her new friends want. But at what cost? Casey has always loved animals. Dogs and cats are fine enough--not that his dead-beat dad has ever let him have one. But what he really wants is an African Grey Parrot. When he finally gets his wish, it's almost too good to be true. The parrot, Dorian, sings and talks and learns new tricks so fast. Dorian is incredibly smart--maybe too smart for his, and Casey's, own good...
