|  | | Lemony Snicket
To the uninitiated, his name may sound more like dessert than good reading; but Lemony Snicket (known to communicate through emissary Daniel Handler, shown here) is a star author to readers who are hooked on his gloomy A Series of Unfortunate Events books. You never know what will happen to those poor Baudelaire orphans next -- only that whatever it is, it's going to be a head-shaking shame.

| | The Notorious Notations: A Blank Journal
by
Lemony Snicket, Brett Helquist (Illustrator)
"Like most fugitives who have vowed to investigate the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, I have always found a blank book to be invaluable in my research," Snicket explains to his fans when describing The Notorious Notations. "Almost every page in this book includes shocking illustrations and unsettling quotations from A Series of Unfortunate Events. In their dark company, even the most harmless notations will become notorious, a word which here means 'commonly and sadly perceived to be of shadowy and somewhat sinister importance, such as my own work on the Baudelaire case, from which you should distance yourself immediately and permanently.'"
