What would you do if you were haunted by the loss of your father? Sharktooth's nightmares kept getting worse and worse. They finally got so bad he begged his best friend, Hammer, to help him find out the truth about what really happened to his father years ago in a battle against their sworn enemies, The Sharks From The East. Defying the elders, Sharktooth and Hammer leave the safety of their colony to search for others who might know all about the past wars. They also hoped to learn more about The One who they thought might hold the key to putting an end to Sharktooth's nightly torment. However, to their surprise, their journey sets off a chain of events that puts them and their entire colony in danger - and not just with The Sharks From The East. This is the first book in The Legendary Tales adventures.

Meant as an update and a corrective to The Age of Caravaggio show, this exhibition and catalogue inaugurates the extended loan to the Metropolitan Museum of a newly identified painting by Caravaggio, The Lute Player, one of the artist's best-known works in seventeenth-century Rome. Almost completely ignored by modern scholars, recently published documentation now establishes the picture's authorship and provenance beyond any doubt. The exhibition includes three other pictures, in addition to The Lute Player, that were made for his patron Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, but also a variant of the title work now residing in the Hermitage that was created for the Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani. Taken together, these pictures constitute the most important group of secular works by the artist ever assembled and provide a unique occasion to evaluate both Caravaggio's development as an artist and the importance of Cardinal del Monte as a patron and collector.No less significant than the appearance and reidentification of "new" pictures by Caravaggio are some developments—really advances—in our understanding of the cultural milieu in which he worked in Rome and of the meaning that underlies some of his most familiar early masterpieces. Once such advance is the subject of the second part of the exhibition, which investigates music and musical practice and patronage in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Italy through paintings and prints. Also included are musical instruments of the period similar to those in the paintings, which have been drawn from the Metropolitan's comprehensive collection.

Having to fight off the vampires was a nightmare. Then the zombies showed up… My name is Bob. I live in a small town in New Jersey with my grandfather. I have a few really great friends, and up until a few days ago, I wouldn’t trade South River for any other place in the world. Then the vampires showed up and started a war. We had help from my cousin’s boyfriend and his father, who are real-life monster hunters. I thought that was pretty freaking cool, but then it turns out that someone in my lineage was a monster hunter, too. I have a knack for killing things. It’s every bit as terrifying as it is awesome. We started fighting the vampires because some of them attacked our neighbors and friends. Then we found out the vampires weren’t here because they wanted to kill us. They were here because they wanted to save us. The vampires knew something horrible was heading our way, something that could wipe out all the people on the planet. Trust me: the vampires weren’t being cool. They weren’t here out of the kindness of their cold, dead hearts. People are food for vampires. If people die out, so do they. So the vampires showed up. Then the zombies showed up. Then I find out that neither of them is the real enemy. The real monster is the thing in the woods. It looks just like my dead mother…
