Night of the Living Zed has been challenged a few times recently and I want to fight for it… at its big heart the story is our love letter to #Halloween (and even contains some pot shots at candy corn)

Hope everyone has a great one!

How is the attack on arts and culture in the U.S. impacting Canada? So many thoughts about this and I am looking forward to this conversation! Join us online Nov. 20.

(Thanks @cfetmu.bsky.social @pencanada.bsky.social and Mass Culture!)

In honour of pre-Halloween (or, as Zed Watson calls it Hallowe’en-owe’en*) I present two of the spooky early versions of the Zed 2 cover. (Never seen!)

I wanted ghosts!

*Zed does a checklist of the neighbourhood to make sure everyone is ready.

I’d love to talk to parents who object to this book. It’s a sweet middle grade adventure/mystery about an adorable and funny kid. That’s all. Thanks to champs like Debbie for rereading !!!!
Reading THE FABULOUS ZED WATSON by Basil Sylvester and @kevinarts.bsky.social. I read this when it first came out but enjoyed it so much I am rereading it during #BannedBooksWeek.
