Bunnicula in a box Cover
James Howe's notebook.

James Howe is the author of more than 70 books, including the popular series, Bunnicula.  As observed by Chester the cat and Harold the dog, strange things happen at the Monroe family home after Bunnicula the bunny joins the household.  Chester is convinced the bunny is a vampire. 

Howe says, ""Back in the Olden Days, before there were such things as cable television or DVDs, I loved staying up late at night to watch old horror movies on TV. Nighty-Nightmare came out of the affection I still feel for those movies and the laughs—along with the chills—they gave me. Chester's story of how Bunnicula traveled from Transylvania to America is a spoof of just about every old horror movie I ever saw!"

Howe has written several series for young readers, including the Sebastian Barth Mystery series and the Pinky and Rex series, and picture books like There’s a Monster Under My Bed.
