Who This Author Is

Betty Paraskevas has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 11 catalog-linked books across 1995 to 2007, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Horror & Supernatural.

Best for readers who want quick tension, supernatural hooks, and paperback-series energy. If you want the easiest first click, start with The Green Monkeys and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1995 to 2007; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Simon & Schuster and Harcourt Childrens Books.
