A suspenseful and atmospheric horror set in 1980s Oregon perfect for fans of Stranger Things
Neil Gaiman and Margaret Peterson Haddix from New York Times bestselling author and the
Decemberists' lead singer songwriter Colin Meloy. Maybe Archie Coomes has been watching too
many horror movies. All of a sudden the most ordinary things have taken on a sinister edge: a
penny on a doormat. An odd man in a brown suit under a streetlamp. The persistent sound of an
ax chopping in the middle of the night. He keeps telling himself that this is Seaham a sleepy
seaside town where nothing ever happens. Or at least nothing did until his dad's construction
company opened up the cliff beneath the old-some say cursed-Langdon place. Soon though he and
his friends can't deny it: more and more of the adults in town are acting strangely. An ancient
long-buried evil has been unleashed upon the community and it's up to the kids to stop it
before it's too late. . . .
