	Horror High and the Feral Peril It's the annual handball competition at Horror High. The court is marked out in fresh blood and powdered teeth, and every student with their brain sewn in the right way is furiously perfecting their most devious death-plays. The heat is definitely on. Tony Bones-Jones is the molten hot favourite, but an unidentified masked assailant has come roaring up through the ranks. The Bonester isn't worried. He's dispatched the best Horror High could throw at him, and sent them limping off the court weeping like onion-chopping old women. But this masked opponent is different - it's as if he can anticipate Tony's every move. Is there some devilry at work here? Two champions, two destinies. Revenge will be sweet.
	Horror High and the Great Brain Robbery When zombie zilch-brain, Mick Living-Dead, makes an IQ-based bet, he couldn't have picked a worse opponent. Mick has no chance in Hell of winning a trivia contest against Mr Noel, Horror High's universally hated science teacher. He must resort to the only honourable option left - cheating. But Mick's too dense to hatch such a diabolically deluded plan by himself. It's his uber-brainy sister, Kim, who comes up with the goods. Who's the smartest person ever? Albert Einstein. Where's his brain kept? Horror Museum. If he wins, Mr Know-All resigns. If he loses, Mick forks out one year's burger-flipping money. Can he pull it off? Unlikely.
	Horror High and the Interghouls Cricket Cup When Principal Skullwater bets on the Interghouls' Cricket Cup, the pressure is on the werewolf cricket team. Their team are rubbish, their opponents are pros, and if they lose the match they're expelled from school. Desperate, team captain Jason-Jock Werewolf trawls through his 'magic' book, a publication so shonky I could've written it. It advises they dig up the skeleton of a professional cricketer, grind the bones, and imbibe the slop - and they actually do it. I never claimed they were gifted. Place your bets.
	Horror High and 101 Damnations Nathan's father, the Grim Reaper, doesn't trust him with a scythe, and for good reason - this kid's dangerous. Nathan is granted the next best thing: the ancestral book of curses The 101 Damnations - but only after promising faithfully never to use it. Like that's going to happen. Now there's an assassin coming to 'whack' the principal, the deputy is a nanny goat, the family heirloom is torn to shreds, and suddenly Mother Grim-Reaper wises up and demands The 101 Damnations be returned, now.
