Bruce Coville/YMMV


 * Award Snub: He's written a ton of children's books since the late 1980s, many of them receiving great critical acclaim, but he's not once been nominated for any Newbery awards.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: In stark contrast to his "safer" stuff, Coville also writes some extremely terrifying work, most of it in short story form. How many children weren't able to sleep after reading There's Nothing Under the Bed?...
