O'Malley, Kevin. Velcome. Illustrated by Kevin O 19Malley. Walker, 1997. ISBN 0-8027-8628-6. $15.95. Unpaginated. NR K-4 FI PB Reviewed by Lanell Rabner Velcome to a sharing of over-told creepy stories and bathroom humor! O 19Malley gives campfire ghost stories a new meaning with this facetious spoof on terror tales--from the wind-howling Fred-Die and a bumping coffin; the rapping, RAPPING, RAPPING in the closet of a haunted house, to the Viper on the phone. Not even the armchair-sitting host, dialog balloons, farcical commentator dog, or ghoolishly colorful illustrations can compensate for this book 19s lack of originality.
