 Dan Greenburg writes the popular Zack Files series for kids and has also written many bestselling books for grown-ups. His sixty-six books have been translated into twenty languages. To research his writing, Greenburg has worked with N.Y. Firefighters and homicide cops, searched for the Loch Ness monster, flown upside down in an open-cockpit plane, taken part in voodoo ceremonies in Haiti, and disciplined tigers on a Texas ranch. He has not, however, personally encountered any zombies or glowing slugs—at least not yet. Greenburg lives north of New York with wife Judith, son Zack, and many cats. |

Scott M. Fischer glided through high school doing extra-credit art assignments for math teachers, which is kinda boring stuff to draw. Next he went to art school, where he learned to paint even more boring things—like flower vases. However, he swears that since then he has drawn nothing but cool stuff—like oozy, drooling monsters, treacherous villans, and the occaisonal flower vase...that has fangs and eats flowers for breakfast! |

"Boy, was this a pleasure to read! I was hooked from page one. I loved every minute I spent with the Shluffmuffin twins, although I have to admit I was glad I was safe in my own house and nowhere near Dripping Fang Forest." |

"It's a potent blend of silliness, spookiness, and gross-out humor, delivered in a deadpan style. Just the kind of twisted stuff I would have loved as a kid (and still love as an adult)." |
| —Bruce Hale, author of the Chet Gecko mystery series |
