Synopsis: The Adventures of the Miskatonic Elementary School Kids #1: Vampires Don't Scare Anyone
A story about Argleton, Arkham County and the kids at the elementary school as they deal with evil monsters (the older girls), snarling demons (the bullies) and even vampires, werewolves and a host of creepy and crawly things as magical wars rage about them, unspeakable names are written in the boy's bathroom and Clayton Rags and his friends try to find a way to survive Elementary School with both their grades and sanity intact.
Excerpt: The Adventures of the Miskatonic Elementary School Kids #1: Vampires Don't Scare Anyone
"Who's the third bathroom for?" he asked.
"Other students."
"Oh. Well, I never expected to find that kind of progressive thinking here." Cain smiled. "It's wonderful that this school has a bathroom for the other-gendered students."
Clay blinked a few times, his air of puzzlement giving way to confusion. "Mr. Biggles? What-gendered?"
"You know, students who don't identify as their own sex or gender." Cain chuckled. "I know kids make jokes, but it is good to see a school taking positive steps to promote a healthy learning environment."
"It's for other students," the boy said. "The ones with tentacles and the fish men and stuff, I was told."
Cain's smile withered slightly. "I see. Well, you may go back to your classroom, and I thank you for the tour," he said, sounding as civil as he could. 'Tentacles' indeed. For half a moment he'd thought the school was at least being progressive, but not with slang like that.
