CANOVANOGRAM BOOKS has been publishing
Jim Vanhollebeke's  TALES FROM MY VAULT
for several years and poll results are giving it 5 stars consistently.

TALES FROM MY VAULT is a TEN VOLUME anthology of memories from Jim's past. Memories that are so embarrassing that Jim employs his "ghost-writer-alter-ego", THE VAULT WARDEN  to narrate them!  These stories are all true folks.  That's what makes them so uproariously funny!


A thinly disguised Jim as a thinly disguised Vault Warden (as a thinly disguised Cryptkeeper!).

A scene from the popular WHITE GERMAN SHEPHERD I & II
Pictured above is VOL. 1 in this four part series. It was meant to be a "one-shot" but it's popularity drove us to create Volume 2 !

 

 

 

 


 
This is the moment Jim confronted the KEEPER OF THE BONES!
Volume 2 became a bigger hit than number one and the sequel plan would to be reactivated yet again!
 

 
VOLUME THREE became an innovation with it's "dream-sequence" cover!
 

Volume 3  was slated to have a horror cover depicting Jim attempting to eat his disgusting MOUNTAIN OYSTERS ....but the picture was scrapped at the last minute. We had decided to run with a "dream sequence scene" of Jim killing a beautiful and sexy vampire.  It had nothing to do with the contents of the book but we felt it would sell more copies.

 

 
THE BURGER KING'S THRONE is another "tale" you don't want to miss!

 

 

 
TALES #4 contains the classic BOOM BOOM IN THE SANDBOX!

 

 

Volume 6 was released in Jan 2006. It contains many classic tales such as BIRD SOUP and A REALLY BAD DAY AT THE BANK.  You can also read some fan mail which includes some amazing tales from YOU THE READERS!

 

Volume 8 was released in 08!  You may never make it past the cover on this volume as you ponder the possibility that you are looking at Jim reading the very book you are holding with a cover of Jim holding the very book he is holding with a cover....

 

 

 

Volume 10 was released Jan of 2010.  This book reveals how Jimmy survived a burning fever in his head with a raging 3 alarm "FIRE DOWN BELOW"! 

 

 

 
Jim has a painful time telling his stories face to face.

Here is the MOUNTAIN OYSTERS scene from Vol.3.  This story is another classic of  EMBARRASSMENT!   You won't believe the anguish Jim is forced to endure in this episode!
One of the reasons he asked the VAULT WARDEN to narrate all these "tales"  is that they are so painful for Jim to recount!!
 
From TALES#4, JIMMY IN 1950 ( ARTISTS CONCEPTION)

 
Emotional scene from THE JELLYROLL BLUES (issue#4)

TALES #5 reveals Jim's terrifying experience with FARMER JACK'S REVENGE!

 

Volume 7 is our BEST ISSUE YET...LOADED with photos and illustrations. Read about my classic encounter with...THE GREMLIN! PLUS six other true stories and features! And YES ... gleefully narrated by 'that darned old' (and sardonic) Vault Warden!! 

 

 

 

 

Volume 9 is our latest release. You'll laugh with surprise when you read what Jim and his boys discovered in a real haunted house in Michigan's remote Upper Peninsula. Don't miss THIS one!
