    About this series

    His name is Rex Dexter.

    Yes. THAT Rex Dexter. The one cursed with the ability to see and talk to dead animals. The solver of atrocities against the four-footed. The savior of the flipperfinned. Save your standing ovation for later, because Rex has bigger things on his mind.

    Rabbits. Specifically, dead rabbits.

    And not just anybunny. This particular gaggle of rabbits once belonged to the Astounding Isabel, Middling Falls’ foremost birthday party magician. One thing has quickly become clear. … Somebunny hates magic. Whoever it is, they’re
    attempting to put the Astounding Isabel out of the birthday biz for good. And they’re willing to whack a whole lotta bunnies to do it.

    It’s a cold, cruel world out there. But don’t worry. Rex is on the case. And so is Darvish. And Drumstick. And possibly several dozen rabbits. The point is, nobunny pulls one over on Rex Dexter … and his best friend … and his dead chicken.

    Nobunny.

      REX DEXTERIS ITCHING TO HAVE A DOG. He was practically born to have one. His name is Rex, for crying out loud. It’s a dog’s name. Any pooch is preferable to no pooch, but a chocolate Labrador is the pinnacle. The best of the best. The dream of all dreams. When Rex’s B-Day for Me-Day finally arrives, his parents surprise him with a box. A box with holes and adorable scratchy noises coming from inside. Could it be? Yes! It has to be! A … a … chicken? Pet poultry? How clucky. One hour and fourteen minutes later, the chicken is dead (by steamroller), Rex is cursed (by the Grim Reaper), and wild animals are haunting Rex’s room (hounding him for answers). Even his best friend, Darvish, is not going to believe this, and that kid believes everything. Rex’s uninvited ghostly guests are a chatty, messy bunch. And they need Rex to solve their mysterious deadly departures from the Middling Falls Zoo before it happens again. But how?

      Rex Dexter is cursed … with brains … and daring … and more than his fair share of devilish good looks. But also with an actual curse. Dead animals keep showing up in his bedroom, wanting him to solve their murders. After successfully sleuthing a series of endangered animal assassinations, Rex is pretty sure he’s home free, spiritually speaking. But that’s when he finds a twothousand-pound narwhal sitting in his beanbag chair. And this tough guy is dead. And super crabby about it. Fishy business is clearly at hand. And as if that’s not bad enough, Rex’s mom has a stressful new job. His new teacher may be part of a Russian hit squad. His best friend, Darvish, is distracted by a role-playing game. And, horror of horrors, Rex may accidentally have a girlfriend. Rex Dexter is neck-deep in dead-pet problems. And he’s determined to solve them. Or let Darvish die trying.

      10 Literary Witches To Hex Trump

      Mar 24, 2017

      In case you hadn’t heard, witches across America—including Lana Del Rey—are uniting to take down Trump via a binding spell, which calls on the spirits to keep the President from doing harm (it already seems to be working). Covens, communities, and solo practitioners will perform the spell in tandem at the stroke of midnight on each crescent moon until Trump is removed—the upcoming dates are March 26 (that’s this Sunday), April 24, and May 23. Here is one version of the ritual, with a list of necessary ingredients (including an “unflattering photo of Trump,” which should not be hard to find) in
