Ever since 13yo Jo made the ghost of her best friend disappear, she thought she was a monster. While stuck at America’s most haunted hotel, she met a real monster. His goal: to possess the hotel. To win, she’s got to rely on good ghosts and a local teen, otherwise it’s all over. #DVPit #MG #H #DIS

Reader review of "The Many Misfortunes of Eugenia Wang" by Stan Yan

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STAR MUST READ GRIPPING BOOK!
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2026
Format: Hardcover
Verified Purchase
I LOVE how relatable The Many MISFORTUNES of Eugenia Wang is! Since the very beginning, the story pulls readers in and honestly I didn't let go of the book until I finished reading it. My son read it after me, also read it in one sitting because not only is it so interesting, it's culturally competent, it's inclusive, and has the pre-teen spark that's fun and keeps you wanting more. The impending doom has me on my feet and I am like whoah will this actually happen? The way this book inflicts the horror vibe without making it too scary in certain parts is genius! This is a MUST-READ 5 STAR BOOK THAT CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND ADULTS WILL LOVE!!!

Panel 1: Belanie, Peter, and Edwin the Vampire eat their lunches in the cafeteria. Edwin looks down forlornly at what looks like a blood bag with a straw in it labeled, "Impossi-blood". Belanie asks him, "What's wrong, Edwin?" Edwin says, "Mom's trying to make us eat more humanely, so she sent me with a "human blood substitute.""

Panel 2: Peter asks Edwin, "Have you tried it?" Edwin says, "No."

Panel 3: Close up of Edwin taking a tentative sip, "Slurp."

Panel 4: Belanie asks, "Well?" Edwin responds, "Tastes like chicken."

“The combination of humor, mystery, and just a little bit of spooky was SO good... There’s also so much heart underneath all the humor, especially when it comes to family, following your dreams, and figuring out who you are for yourself.”

Enjoy a new Peter Cadaver #comic built on the back of the classics I've been running for the last 3 weeks. #PeterCadaver #KidLitSundayScaries #cryptoscams

Panel 1: Continued from last week’s strip, Peter, Patty, Terry the Tapeworm, and Spectra sit around the kitchen table playing a board game that looks like a cross between Monopoly and Risk. Peter looks puzzled, "Terrycoin?". Terry says, “Mind you,
Terrycoin doesn't have any value on its own." Patty asks, "Then why would people want it?"

Panel 2: Close up of Terry lecturing, “It's only after I pretend to "mint" this imaginary asset, expending an inordinate amount of energy and natural resources and open my own unregulated exchange to exclusively trade it does it gain value."

Panel 3: Peter asks, "Why?" Terry says, "Sigh. If I have to explain it to you..."

Panel 4: Patty says, "You CAN'T explain it, can you?" Terry says, "You're kids. You
wouldn't understand either!"

Panel 1: Caption: "First day of a new school year.” Peter walks into a room with a narrow door followed by the conjoined twins, Cat and Tam who haven’t walked in yet because they’re wider than the opening. Tam says, “Is THIS the room?"

Panel 2: The twins rotate and sidestep into the room, Tam first. Tam says, “Why don’t we go sideways?” Sound effect of the school bell: “BRRRRRRRING!"

Panel 3: Similar to the previous panel, but the witch teacher approaches with a clipboard, “Tam Fortune?"

Panel 4: The twins have finally both come through the doorway. Tam says with a raised hand, “Here!” The teacher says, “Check. But Cat Fortune, you’re TARDY.” Cat is upset, “Hey...!"

"A Spooky, Heartfelt Story About Finding Your Voice... The art is engaging and the story balances humor with genuinely creepy moments. As a parent, I appreciated how it explores cultural identity and the tension between honoring your heritage while finding your own path. Perfect for fans of Remy Lai's Ghost Book.”

Panel 1: Patty and Peter walk into school on the first day of school after Summer break. Belanie looks up at Patty in surprise, "Patty, how'd you get so tall?" Patty says, "I had a growth spurt."

Panel 2: Francie walks in looking taller too. Peter says, "Looks like you're not the only one." Francie says, "What up, shrimps?"

Panel 3: Belanie asks Peter, "When are we going to grow, Peter?" Peter says, "I think it's up to Dad." Patty pats Peter on the head, "Everyone grows at different times."

Panel 4: Cat and Tam, the conjoined twins walk in to the unsetttled surprise of Patty, Peter, and Belanie. Tam is taller than Cat, so she's dragging Cat along behind her, which she doesn't look too happy about. Tam says, "I'm tall!" Cat grumbles, "This stinks."

My contribution to #AugustAdventures2026week2 is a fake book cover for a biography about Charles Darwin's daughter, #HenriettaDarwin. I was inspired to draw this after reading a recent article about her interest in foraging for phallic-shaped mushrooms. #AugustAdventures #AugustAdventures2026

Mock cover art by Stan Yan for a book entitled, "Loose Morels: The Foraging Passions of Henrietta Darwin" by N.F. Biographer. The illustration shows a drawing of Darwin with a sunhat on and a covered basket spying some phallic-shaped fungi that have black censor bars over them that the subtitle is written over.

Panel 1: Patty walks into Dad's mad scientist laboratory and asks him, "Can you take me to get a haircut?" Dad replies, "No, no. Let's save some money, and I'll give you one." Patty says, "Really?"

Panel 2: Dad brandishes a pair of scissors and says, "I'm an old pro." Patty nervously says, "I don't know. I need a little trim. You tend to get carried away." Dad says, "You're being silly. Trust me."

Panel 3: Caption: "8 hours later." Spot of Patty sporting a new haircut, a ginger bob with short bangs. She looks happy.

Panel 4: Peter looks aghast, "Patty! What happened to you? You're so tall!" Patty is much taller than normal and has certain body parts that are now also blue, in contrast to her normal green hue. She says, "Dad gave me extensions."
