The first Lovecraft Middle School book by Charles Gilman, Professor Gargoyle, hits stores everywhere this September and we sure are excited. The second title comes out in January, and Charles is already hard at work on the third in the series.

And speaking of that third book, we're looking for a model for the cover! Here's the casting notice, straight from our Art Director, Doogie Horner:

* Quirk Books is looking for a cover model for one of our books.
* Model Description: Young boy, 11-13 years old. Should look like the archetypal teacher's pet. Round-face, chubby cheeks, wholesome looking. Preferably blonde hair and big blue eyes.
* We're shooting May 23rd at a studio in Philadelphia. Should take about 4 hours. Pay is $150.
* Please send headshots to doogie@quirkbooks.com and write Monster Middle School in the subject line of your email.
