Mallory Manor is a rooming house for young women, located in a southern city going through the turmoil of the 1960's. Mrs. Black runs the house with grace, keeping track of dozens of beautiful and talented young women who are eagerly embracing life on their own. Sinister forces hover around the house, as dark as the shadows that play across the fa ade of the house and in the dark alley. Jealousy leads to tragedy, to stalking and murder, and all the while the dark past demands retribution for crimes of race, culture and religion. A resident of Lewis County, West Virginia, and native of Hardeman County, Tennessee, Dean Bennett brings the young ladies of Mallory Manor to life. The author gives a tour of the old home and leads the reader down frightening paths as the former Mallory Manor ladies solve murders and uncover more mysteries.
Eight-year-old Mallory feels left out when her older brother, Max, gets a dog that becomes the center of attention.

Mallory Cavan wants two things in life: to be a starting forward for her favorite pro hockey team, and to get through middle school without having to talk to the Scott twins. Achieving one means having to sacrifice the other.When her K-9 officer father forgets to pick her and the Scott twins up from hockey camp one day, they trip over a detail from a case he's investigating. The others think it connects back to an old town legend, so Mallory agrees to go hunt for the "rest" of the treasure.Instead, Mallory and her teammates find enough trouble to threaten not only hockey camp but their entire season, and worse It's up to Mallory and her dad's K-9 partner to get them out of it.
Kevin Mallory is so good at lying he has convinced himself he has an almost average life. He tries to use his exceptional skill at prevarication to hang onto his job without doing any work, win the love of his co-worker without recognizing who she really is, take advantage of the young Black man who moves in next door, and manipulate the police and the courts into accepting his warped idea of justice Mallory pursues his co-worker, Nell, even as his supervisor at the UniCast Cable Company attempts to prove he is cutting off customers' calls. He joins Nell's dysfunctional Employee Cheer Committee as it tries to avoid disaster at the upcoming holiday party. He agrees to cat sit for Nell while she goes on a series of girls' nights out. He buys a rifle for protection from imaginary hoodlums but cannot get the box of bullets open. When Thomas, his neighbor, is assaulted by the police, Mallory impersonates a lawyer and represents him. When he is later criminally charged himself, he summons Nell as a witness, brings his rifle to court, and parks in a handicapped parking spot. "An exceedingly kooky protagonist drives this touching, silly adventure." - Kirkus Reviews.

Super funny, super spooky MG for budding horror fans about a talkative skull and a necromancer-in-training - perfect for Lemony Snicket readers!Mallory Vayle would list her interests as being normal, books about ponies and very definitely NOT talking to dead people. But when her parents' carriage takes a leap off Gibbett Bridge - an accident for which there appears to be no explanation - she is taken in by a strange aunt the family disowned years ago and brought to her new, and very spooky, home. Aunt Lilith, a charlatan psychic, is quick to monetise Mallory's prodigious skills in talking to dead people and starts to advertise grand seances (ticketed obvs) in her spiritual news sheet.The ghosts of her parents also take up residence in the house but are cruelly snatched away by the shadow of Hellysh Spatzl, the grimmest, wickedest necromancer in all of history. To get them back, Mallory will have to learn how to use the talents she hates and raise the old hag from the dead. Her teacher? A talking skull called Maggoty, who wants some favours in return for his help - not just a gorgeous blond wig and some sparkly earrings, but for Mallory to break the curse that has left his spirit locked inside his own skull for 500 years.Mallory will have to lean into who she is and what she can do and make a pact with the evil Hellysh Spatzl to get her parents back while at the same time putting on a sensational Halloween spectacular at only five shillings a head for an amazed audience at Nightmare Castle. And learn to love her chatty sidekick and his glorious wig...As darkly hilarious as The Addams Family, this is really good fun. An alternative spooky Victoriana packed with laughs and outrageous characters, at its heart, it's a story of a young girl coming to terms with her own gifts and accepting that nobody is 'normal'.
