Come, sit down, grab a plate, and get your fork and knife ready to feast upon author Bentley Little's delectable tale The WASHINGTONIANS in this all new picture book edition illustrated by artist Ted DiLucia.

Book Synopsis: Mike and his family are soon terrorized by a secret society of modern day colonials who call themselves The Washingtonians. After a hidden letter is found revealing that George Washington was in fact a cannibal, the dead president's devoted Washingtonians are on the hunt to keep the Sage of Mount Vernon's carnivorous past sacred. Knowledge is power, and staying ignorant is bliss. It is best to keep the public blind and history whole. If word gets out, it will rewrite the very foundation of the United States as we know it.

Bentley Little is the author of over thirty novels and five short story collections. His very first novel The Revelation has earned him a Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel 1990. He averages a novel a year and several of his work has been adapted into films and television series. As a writer, Little is championed by Dean Koontz, and Stephen King calls him “The horror poet laureate.” Little was born a month after his mother attended the world premiere of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, and he now lives and works in California.
