'The Staring Owl finds it hard to fit in. Having been brought up to stare at everything and everyone, he finds that most people, and even the ducks at the park, don't enjoy that level of scrutiny.
'Although he can always go the art gallery and stare at the paintings, Staring Owl wants more than anything a career that will suit his unique talents. What can that be?' (Publication summary)

'Ock Von Fiend lives on the outskirts of town and doesn't have many friends because, well, he's a vampire who tends to want to bite people. Luckily he has his teddy Van Munster (who has lately been possessed by a demon), the neighbourhood werewolf, his part-monkey undead grandfather, and his music to keep him busy. But that isn't to say that he wouldn't like to meet a nice lady vampire - know anyone? This playful and affectionate character study of Ock the lonely vampire is sumptuously illustrated with humorous and original characters by a talented new author.'
