He likes it even less when one day he shows up to find that Doctor Fossil has been replaced by a "substitute dentist," a strange man wearing a mask who calls himself "Darktor Fondskull." Fondskull works on his teeth, but Arnie starts to have horrible nightmares and finds himself doing awful things in his sleep. Arnie knows it's all tied together with Fondskull, whoever or whatever he is. But how can he stop the demented substitute dentist from controlling him?

Dr. Fossil isn't your typical dentist - but when his replacement, Dr. Fonskull, starts to treat Arnie, things get even weirder...

After his grandmother receives a mysterious invitation for "High Coffee" in the Gorgantic, the world's largest building, Igz accompanies her to the skyscraper nestled in the heart of New York City. But it's clear almost immediately that something is off; there are paintings on every surface he sees -- some of half-human / half-insect monsters, and some that seem to move. And the more time they spend inside the Gorgantic, the clearer it becomes to Igz how many dark secrets the building contains -- all of which seem centered around the art...

In the busiest city in the world, a mysterious black skyscraper rises toward the clouds. But no one is ever invited inside, until one day, somebody is... and discovers that things are not what they seem. Especially not the spooky paintings that hang on every wall in sight...
