In Transylvania Waters Mordonna and Nerlin should be King and Queen. But there are some seriously nasty characters standing in their way . . .

After years on the run, the Floods are coming home. And just in time too. Since Nerlin and Mordonna fled Transylvania Waters, things there have gone from worse to much worse. King Quatorze has bled the country dry. He's even sold everyone's shoelaces.

It's time for a change, time for life with a lot less cabbage and a lot more chocolate. But first the Floods have to get rid of the old king . . .

Praise for Floods 8: Better Homes And Gardens

Fans will be thrilled to discover more ghoulish secrets about the Floods’ family tree, when they reunite with relatives in Transylvania Waters. Every chapter is loaded with gross character descriptions and illustrations. Thompson uses witty humour throughout the book. The magic spells are simply hilarious. The real highlights are the footnotes, which offer Thompson’s commentary on the main story and his own strange life.
