[LM_NET] ELEM: ATTN PUBLISHERS: Need easy reader scary stories

[Johanna Halbeisen <johanna.newsong@RCN.COM>]

When Eeek! Stories to Make You Shriek! came out, I cheered.  At last
there was something to give to the first and second graders who
wanted to take out Goosebumps, something they could actually *read*!
Now some of that series is out of print.  Hello, out there, all
children's book authors and publishers!  There is a market waiting
for you.  My Eeek books are usually not on the shelves.  Yes, I know
about the Alvin Schwartz contributions and the Five Funny Frights,
etc.  The latter are usually turned down because the pictures "aren't
scary".  And, I mean, if it has "funny" in the title, my 6 yr old
horror lovers turn their backs.

Netters - any idea how to get the word out that we need these?
