Well, one last batch before I go on vacation.

John Bellairs' work can be divided into two categories: "The Face in the
Frost" and his juvenile fantasy/mysteries.  "The Face in the Frost" is
a wonderful fantasy, at turns funny, witty and scary.  Really
recommended. His juveniles are an interesting mixture of magic and
mysteries.  I own most of them, but have only read novels in the
"Johnny Dixon" series.  Quite fun. The illustrations by Edward Gorey
(a marvelous illustrator, he did the opening sequence of PBS's Mystery
series) help add to the atmosphere.

[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
