Mortimer is a true romantic. He's looking for love in all the right places, but something about him seems to scare women off! [A pretty terrifying but very friendly looking zombie offers you dead flowers covered in spiders.] What will it take for Mortimer to find the girl of his nightmares? Spookiness: 3/5

Spooky elements: The romantically-inclined undead. Obviously.

Good for: This is a kids' picture book, but the pictures are so wonderful any grown-up could be proud to own it. Completely adorable and wonderfully creepy!
