Notes:

The Family Book series was to be three books but after the first book (Special Effects) the publisher decided to end the series at two books. Material intended for the third book was woven into the second (Into the Darkness). Both books are credited to "Kevin McCarthy with David Silva." The copyright pages though bear the somewhat puzzling statement "Copyright C 2001/2002 by Kevin McCarthy, Tekno Books, and Ed Gorman." Apparently Ed Gorman came up with the idea for the series and presented it to Tekno Books (Martin H. Greenberg). Tekno hired David B. Silva to ghost-write the series and sold the package to DAW books.
